A.M.E. MANIFESTO

The Alliance of Modern Entertainers

 

Our Voice. Our Standard. Our Future.


I. WE ARE THE ENTERTAINERS WHO BUILT THIS INDUSTRY


Before the agencies grew large…
Before it became a trend…
Before it became a business model…

There were men who stepped into living rooms, backyards, rooftops, hotels, villas, and Airbnbs across America — armed with nothing but charisma, hospitality, confidence, and connection.

We were the first to show that entertainment could be more than a performance.
It could be service, energy, joy, fitness, artistry, improv, and laughter woven together.

We are the butlers, cabana boys, dancers, drag artists, party hosts, fitness instructors, and entertainers who have made millions of memories for clients across the country.

We built this industry —
one party, one event, one moment at a time.

And now, we stand together under one banner:
The Alliance of Modern Entertainers.


II. THE INDUSTRY WE LOVE HAS BEEN MISGUIDED


As demand grew, the values that once defined this work — passion, pride, professionalism — were overshadowed by one thing:

Profit over people.


Corporate-style agencies rose quickly, prioritizing:

  • Lower wages
     
  • Higher fees
     
  • More volume
     
  • Less care
     
  • Less investment in the entertainers
     
  • Less transparency
     
  • Less respect for the craft
     

Entertainers became disposable assets instead of valued talent.
Standards dropped. Quality slipped. Voices were silenced.
Agencies took more. Entertainers were left with less.

This alliance exists because enough is enough.


III. WE ARE NOT ANTI-AGENCY — WE ARE PRO-ENTERTAINER


We believe agencies should succeed.
But success cannot come at the cost of the entertainers who make their entire business possible.


A.M.E. stands for:

  • Fair pay
     
  • Ethical treatment
     
  • Safety and professionalism
     
  • Respect for physical and mental health
     
  • Transparent expectations
     
  • Opportunities for growth
     
  • Industry-wide unity
     
  • A voice for the workforce behind the experience
     

We do not seek to fight agencies.
We seek to invite them into a higher standard — one that benefits everyone.


IV. THE REAL COST OF BEING A MODERN ENTERTAINER


Behind every event are hours — often years — of investment:

  • Gym routines
     
  • Supplements
     
  • Grooming
     
  • Healthy food choices
     
  • Gas and travel
     
  • Heat exposure in desert climates
     
  • Humidity exposure in the south
     
  • Alcohol-heavy environments
     
  • Emotional and mental energy
     
  • Missing weekends
     
  • Strained relationships
     
  • Constant pressure to look, perform, and act at 100%
     

This job takes discipline.
This job takes sacrifice.
This job is not “easy money.”
This job is not “just for fun.”

Entertainers are athletes, performers, service professionals, and mental-health managers — all at once.

It’s time the industry acknowledged the true workload behind the smiles and the fun.


V. OUR VALUES


1. Integrity

We believe entertainers deserve honest communication, fair expectations, and ethical treatment.

2. Professionalism

We raise the bar — in appearance, conduct, and performance.

3. Respect

From agencies, vendors, clients, and from each other.

4. Unity

Every voice matters — whether you’re new or a veteran.

5. Empowerment

We help entertainers grow, evolve, and build their future — personally and professionally.

6. Transparency

We believe in clear wages, clear terms, and clear expectations across the industry.


VI. WHAT WE ARE FIGHTING FOR


Fair, Standardized Wages

A rising baseline of $75/hr minimum, moving toward $100/hr in high-demand markets.

Mental Health Awareness & Community Support

Because this job affects identity, relationships, and stress levels.

Professional Safety & Conduct Guidelines

To protect entertainers and clients equally.

Representation & Voice

A seat at the table for entertainers when agencies make policies that impact their lives.

Ethical Vendor Partnerships

Ensuring the businesses that rely on entertainers support fair labor practices.

Education & Entrepreneurship

Helping entertainers build their own brands, careers, and long-term opportunities.


VII. WE STAND TOGETHER — AND WE WILL BE HEARD


This alliance was created because we are stronger united than we ever could be alone.

We are not here to divide the industry.
We are here to elevate it.

To champion:

  • Respect
     
  • Professionalism
     
  • Safety
     
  • Mental health
     
  • Fair pay
     
  • Opportunity
     
  • Community
     

To protect the men who make this industry go round and round.

This is our line in the sand.
This is our new chapter.
This is where entertainers reclaim their voice — and their worth.


VIII. OUR OATH


**We are the face of the party, and the backbone of the experience.
We bring the energy, the laughter, and the atmosphere.
We give our time, our bodies, our minds, and our passion.
We deserve to be valued for it.
We stand together.
We raise the standard.
We are A.M.E.**
