Quick Answer
UK cabaret performers invoicing for event work should itemise each performance element separately — solo fee, backing track or live band costs, costume, and travel. Cabaret rates range from £400–£1,500 per performance depending on the act type and event format. Cabaret performers working at licensed venues should confirm whether a separate performer licence fee applies to their invoice.
Invoicing as a Cabaret Performer in the UK
Cabaret is one of the broadest performance categories in the UK events industry — covering everything from classic vocal performance to variety, drag, and themed entertainment. Invoice structure varies significantly depending on the format, but the core principles of clear itemisation and pre-agreed terms apply across all types.
Typical Cabaret Performer Rates to Reference on Invoices
- Solo cabaret vocalist (45-minute set): £400–£900
- Cabaret variety act (30-minute showcase): £400–£1,000
- Full cabaret show (90 minutes, multiple acts): £1,200–£3,500
- Corporate cabaret headline (60 minutes): £600–£1,500
What to Include on a Cabaret Performer Invoice
- Act name and performance description
- Set duration and number of sets
- PA system provision if you supply your own
- Backing track or live musician costs if applicable
- Costume and production costs if charged separately
- Travel and accommodation
- Payment terms and bank details
Licensing Considerations for Cabaret at Licensed Premises
Performances at licensed venues — bars, clubs, and hotels — may require the venue to hold an entertainment licence covering live performance. This is the venue's responsibility, not yours — but confirming it in advance protects you from being asked to perform at a venue that doesn't have the correct licence in place, which could result in you not being paid.
