Right guys, Jonathan here, The DJ Tutor. So, you're a mobile DJ or you're a club DJ. You're an entertainer, a general entertainer. You're in a band, you're a singer, you're a cabaret artist, you're a magician. You've loaded the car, you've driven to the event, which could be down the road or it could be a couple of hundred miles. You get to the venue, you're sitting around in the car, you're waiting, you unload, you set up, you do the event and you go home. Now, in between all that, I'm going to explain, not in great detail because it should be very obvious to you, what is potentially one of the most important things you should take with you. Yes. Now, this item is not anything to do with electricity. This item won't help you become a better entertainer. This item won't even enhance your show in...

1:29 You wash, you shower, which you should do before you go to the venue

Any way, shape or form, yet it is potentially the, well one of the most important items you can take with you. It is, there, it's underarm roll-on or spray or something like that. Now, of course I would always take a towel with me as well to a gig which I do, but why? Right, very simple. You wash, you shower, which you should do before you go to the venue. You drive, you get there, maybe you have to unload a little bit of kit, maybe just a mic or maybe an entire rig. You're going to get a little bit sweaty. Now look at it very, very closely here. Let's like just look at this. You are yourself and you smell how you smell and you get used to your odour. But, believe it or not, when you get to the venue and you've set up, you're just going to be a little bit, there's a bit of perspiration going on there, maybe a bit under the armpits. And when you then approach people, the last thing you want is for them to smell someone who's just like run a marathon. So what you do is as soon as you've set up, you go and get washed and put some roll on. Now, some of you out there may be thinking...

2:30 There's a lot more to this than meets the eye

Why is he doing this video? But, first impressions last. There's a lot more to this than meets the eye. Because if you turn up to an event all sweaty and smelling like gorgonzola that's been sat there in your fridge for about five years, it's probably quite nice actually. Depends if you like cheese though. Then, the public are going to maybe think you're... Not hygienic. When you are, you should be. It's not just your look, your appearance, it's about the smell which is part of the appearance. So please, I highly recommend when you go to an event, take a roll-on, take some spray, something with you that will help get rid of maybe that sort of aroma, that set-up, driving, getting to the venue aroma, which is what you don't want.

Thank you.
