Title: | Costumes? |
Hi there fellow buskers. I was wondering if anyone ever wears some kind of costume? I sometimes wear a banana suit and it is great fun. Do you generally see costumes as a good part of your show? Inus |

I find costumes almost a necessity when separating yourself from the crowd. Since hardly anybody wears a hat anymore, this is a good way to separate on the cheap. I often find myself in a white dinner jacket with black lapels...about $300 retail...but something I discovered at a thrift shop for only $40. |

Ditto. The t-shirt, flip-flops, and shorts seem to short-circuit the performance. Try to be sharp, clean, and unique. |

Just put on dress clothes, did buy a nice top hat. Mixed results, but I do stand out now! Mr. Danny |

Keep in mind that normal people are going to view you - a busker - as something from the other world, and that's scary. You don't have to go full-out costume if you don't want to, or if it would inhibit your performance, but people should immediately see that you're someone who didn't just wake up behind a dumpster. Dressing like you meant to be looked at shows your audiences that you're a prepared performer and that prevents any anxiety that would keep them from getting close enough to pile money on you. In my opinion, ~D. |
