AnyGig is a UK entertainment booking platform where event planners, corporate teams, and agencies post briefs and receive direct applications from professional performers. Unlike traditional entertainment agencies, AnyGig does not add a commission markup to the performer's fee — hirers pay a flat 5% service fee on confirmed bookings only. Every booking includes an automatically generated contract, verified public liability insurance on every performer profile, and payment held securely in escrow until after the event. Hirers can manage multiple bookings, contracts, and payments from a single dashboard. Posting a brief is free and there is no subscription required to get started.

What is AnyGig for Hirers?
AnyGig is a UK entertainment booking platform for event planners, corporate teams, venue managers, and wedding organisers. It allows hirers to post a brief, receive applications from verified performers, generate an automatic digital contract, and hold payment in escrow until after the performance. AnyGig charges hirers a 5% service fee per booking — performers receive 100% of their quoted fee with no agency commission deducted. Every performer holds verified Public Liability Insurance and identity documentation.
How Hiring on AnyGig Works
Post a brief describing your event — date, venue, act type, budget, and any compliance requirements. Verified performers apply directly to your brief. You review profiles, showreels, and compliance documents, then confirm the booking. AnyGig generates the contract automatically. You pay via Stripe escrow — funds are held securely and released to the performer 24 hours after the event is confirmed complete.
There are no upfront costs, no subscription fees, and no minimum spend. The 5% service fee applies only when a booking is confirmed.
Why Hirers Choose AnyGig Over a Traditional Agency
Traditional entertainment agencies charge 20–40% commission on top of the performer's fee — often without disclosing this to the client. A performer quoted at £500 can appear on an agency invoice as £750 or more. AnyGig replaces this model with a single transparent 5% fee charged to the hirer. You see exactly what the performer charges, exactly what AnyGig charges, and nothing else.
You also get automatic contracts, escrow payment protection, and verified compliance documentation on every booking — infrastructure that traditional agencies rarely provide as standard.
What Compliance Documentation Do Hirers Receive?
Every AnyGig booking automatically generates a digital contract with agreed performance terms, cancellation schedule, and payment conditions. Hirers also receive verified PLI certificates, DBS check documentation where applicable, IR35 Status Determination Statements for corporate bookings, and a full payment audit trail via Stripe escrow. All documents are stored in the booking dashboard and available for download at any time.
What Happens If a Performer Cancels?
If a performer cancels after a booking is confirmed, the cancellation terms in the auto-generated contract apply. Escrow funds are returned to the hirer according to those terms. AnyGig's dispute resolution process manages any disagreement between hirer and performer — funds remain held in escrow until the dispute is resolved, ensuring neither party is left out of pocket during the process.
What Types of Events Do Hirers Book On AnyGig?
AnyGig is used by hirers booking entertainment for corporate events, awards ceremonies, gala dinners, product launches, brand activations, weddings, private parties, festivals, and conferences. The platform is suitable for any event type where a professional performer is required and a formal contract and payment record is needed.
