[Jolly Well]

I personally dislike performing at establishments such as Chuckee Cheeze (Showbiz Pizza, Dave & Busters, etc). It's just as often as not that they have issues with performers coming in that aren't part of their staff. Occassionally you'll find a manager who doesn't have a problem with it, but at I've found that it's the exception and not the norm.

Also, the kids are generally wanting to get away from the table and onto the arcade which offers quite a bit of distraction (along with the in-house stage entertainment). You'll definately need a quality routine to keep the attention of the table and make the customer feel satisfied. I never understand why parents book out-of-house entertainment in places like these, and if I don't neccessarily need the cash at the moment - I turn the gig down or discuss alternatives to them (doing a ''pre-party'' gig at a residence, park, etc)

In the end, it's like every other performance once you get past the roadblocks. Be confident and just toss your routine out there and you should do fine.
