# Do you stay for the whole show when your London spot is early?

I’m trying not to be the person who does five minutes and immediately vanishes, but some London nights finish late enough that staying to the end can add another hour to getting home. If you’re on early, what’s reasonable etiquette? Stay for the whole show whenever possible, stay for a few acts, or does it depend on what the organiser has asked for?

I’d treat staying as good manners, not a blood oath. If someone tells me before the show they need to leave after a few acts for the last train or childcare or whatever, fine. What feels bad is disappearing straight after your set without saying anything. If you can stay and support the room, do. If you can’t, communicate.
