I am 62 and have now received 2 social security checks (distribution of my 44 years of contributions, NOT ENTITLEMENTS). I had a job up until 2 1/2 years ago when I got let go of a job that I held for 23 years. I fortunately had 2 good paying shows per week to help me until my ss checks started coming. It would have been impossible to have kept up my home, cars, food and gas if I had to depend on karaoke. I could have done more shows per week, but my age and some serious joint pain allows for only so much.

Most of the hosts in my area are over 50 as well. Sarasota is a much older than average population so we might have older hosts in general.....I don't know that for sure. I do believe that most hosts around here use it to supplement their finances, and not live on it.


How long have you been hosting in Sarasota? I hosted in Bradenton for about 5 years.


I sent you a PM

I am no longer hosting, but I was around 37 when I started making attempts, and I am currently 43.

I was fortunate enough that my disability income paid my basic necesscities, so any money i did make went right back into the business..

a pity I never found a partner who was better at attracting crowds and marketing than I was, i think it would have been infinately more successful.
