🚨 GigWerk Marketplace Update 🚨

We now have 23 listings LIVE on GigWerk and incredible entertainers ready to WERK your stage, event, brunch, or party!

From drag artists and show hosts to go-go dancers and specialty performers, our founding talent is already bringing decades of combined entertainment experience to the platform. Whether you’re planning a nightclub show, drag brunch, Pride event, private party, or fundraiser, you can now browse talent and start booking directly through GigWerk.

This is just the beginning. As we continue growing, GigWerk is aiming to build a national directory of LGBTQ+ entertainers and live performers while keeping the process professional, secure, and easy for both talent and producers.

💳 Why the Stripe verification?
Performers connect their Stripe account so they can receive secure weekly payouts directly to their bank account when they complete bookings. It keeps everything transparent and protects both sides of the booking.

Browse the talent and explore the marketplace:

To our founding listings: thank you for helping build something new for our community!

The stage is set 🔥

Let’s get to WERK! 💖

🚧 GigWerk Update: What Stage We’re In 🚧

A few people have asked how the rollout of GigWerk is working, so here’s a quick breakdown:

Stage 1 (Right Now): Entertainer Signups
We’re currently focused on building our roster of talent. Drag performers, DJs, hosts, burlesque artists, and other LGBTQ+ entertainers can create listings so venues can see who’s available to book.

Stage 2: Venue Outreach
Once we have a strong roster of entertainers, we’ll begin a larger push to bring venues, show directors, and event producers onto the platform.

Stage 3: Bookings Go Live
Venues post gigs, entertainers receive booking requests, and GigWerk handles the payments and payouts.

💳 Why Stripe asks for your ID & bank info:

GigWerk uses Stripe, a secure payment processor used by companies like Lyft and DoorDash.

Stripe requires ID verification to:
• Prevent fake listings and scams
• Send your gig payouts directly to your bank account

GigWerk never stores your bank information. Stripe handles all payment security.

We’re building this to become a national directory and booking hub for q***r talent. If you’re an entertainer, now is the perfect time to create your listing.

More updates soon 💖
