Entertainer in the hotels

I know some of the Big Tourist Hotels have different themed evenings, i.e. local music night, Comedy night, Tribute nights, so think you need to contact all the Big hotels on the Island, I am sure you would find a few interested in your act.

Just google: Hotels in Mauritius - there are lots

Good Luck

Yes, best of luck, a 7-piece local band is paid around Rs1000 each per person (a little more than 20 pound sterling).  You would need to secure enough gigs to apease the immigration that you are actually a performing musician with pre-planned gigs otherwise you would need to apply for a work permit (the law changed a few years back and musicians do not need a work permit BUT you need to be coming here for a specific gig(s) so you would need to arrange these beforehand).  All this needs to be prepared before you arrive here.  Don't forget, you wouldn't get free accomodation as you could only work in one hotel a week because of the existing variety of entertainment.  I don't have as much experience as some people clearly claim to have with hotels, I have only performed in 3 of them on special occasions but hey, what do I know...!
