You thrive if front of an audience. You know how to entrance them, entertain them, and even inspire them. Your poetics can stir the hears of those who hear you, awakening grief or joy, laughter of anger. Your music raises their spirits or captures their sorrow. Your dance steps captivate, your humor cuts to the quick. Whatever techniques you use, your art is your life.
You can always find a place to preform, usually in an inn or tavern, but possibly with a circus, at a theater, or even a noble's court. At such a place, you receive free lodging and food of a modest of comfortable standard (depending on the quality of the establishment), as long as you perform each night. In addition, your performance makes you something of a local figure. When strangers recognize you in a town where you have performed, they typically take a liking to you.

A gladiator is as much an entertainer as any minstrel or circus performer, trained to make the arts of combat into a spectacle the crowd can enjoy. This kind of flashy combat is your entertainer routine, though you might also have some skills as a tumbler of actor. Using your By Popular Demand feature, you can find a place to perform in any place the features combat for entertainment-perhaps a gladiatorial arena or secret pit fighting club. You can replace the musical instrument in you equipment package with an inexpensive but unusual weapon, such as a net.
