Please Read If You Are Considering Booking LaSalle

If you put yourself in my shoes, feel what I have felt and deal with people who lack integrity like I have, you will understand the following very well. I love what I do, traveling far and near preaching, teaching and making people laugh. On the other hand, I have missed out on other bookings because some churches do not bother to inform me of cancellations as soon as possible.

Let it be know, when someone calls to book me verbally, it is so important that the contact information is completely filled out and returned as soon as possible for confirmation. I cannot and will not hold a date verbally anymore. Why?

Let me share a part of an email sent to me the same day that I was looking to perform comedy.

First of all, I must apologize for this late notice. There was some miscommunication as to who would be contacting you regarding our Steppin' Out event on this evening. However, we did assume that by not submitting the booking agreement form that you would not be performing. Nevertheless, I apologize for any inconvenience that we may have caused. I was writing to inform you that we would not be needing you to perform on this evening. We certainly appreciate your willingness to help us lift up the name of Jesus, and we will keep you in mind for future events. Thank you in advance for your understanding. May God continue to bless you and your ministry.

Now you know the What behind the Why.

Time: I have heard of “CP time.” However, I get so frustrated sitting and waiting for an event or program to start. I do my best to get where I need to be before time, sometimes from 3 hours away. Your Praise Team SHOULD NOT sing 3 or more songs if the programs starts 20 to 30 minutes late. Let those who decide to get there whenever, miss out. It’s not fair to me; sometimes I have 2 or 3 bookings in one day.

Directions: Please don’t assume that I know how to get to the church or place. I need detailed directions with some landmarks, please. I will always need the phone number and street address of the place where I will be performing. If you are my contact person and I only have home number, that’s will not help me out, if I am lost and you are not at home.

Honorarium: Last but certainly not least, my honorarium. I should not have to wait until the end of service for it to get in my hand. People kill me with, “are you ready to go?” Ready or not, do what is right. If I can stay longer, I will do so. When I put the mic down after I am finished, put it in my hand, thanks. Am I wrong to expect Christians to have integrity?
