What to pack in your background performer go-bag

By Local BG Talent

Call times are early, parking can be far from holding, and the snack table is not always close when you need it. A simple go-bag keeps you self-sufficient.

Documents: Photo ID, union card if applicable, and a copy of your booking details.

Comfort: Reusable water bottle, snacks, phone charger, and a book or tablet for downtime.

Wardrobe helpers: Safety pins, lint roller, neutral socks, and comfortable shoes for between setups.

Personal care: Lip balm, sunscreen, hand sanitizer, and any medications you need for a full day away from home.

Keep your bag packed and ready by the door. When a last-minute booking comes in, you will be glad you did.
