A couple of years ago, I was roadying for a girl who was (then) a pub and club singer. She did a "Showcase" gig at the Bowling club in Chapel-en-le-Frith. "Showcase" gigs are attended by booking agents etc. and feature five or six acts who do a couple of numbers and then clear off stage to make way for the next act.

The first act was a five-piece band, who had a lot of equipment. As they finished, and began frantically stuffing leads and stands into various bags and cases, the Club's MC went to the house mike and said, "Give these lads a big hand, while they get their kit off!"

Some of the following acts asked whether a "Full Monty" was a compulsory part of the set.
