Staging
Although Mac can perform anywhere, the ideal situation allows him to mingle with the audience during the performance or presentation, as his audience is an integral part of what he does and it's more engaging and fun this way!

Lighting
Whether performing in a theater or an open space, Mac simply needs a well-lit main performance area and a sufficiently lit audience area so that Mac can see the audience and members of the audience can see each other. Unless otherwise requested, no significant lighting cues are required.

Power
Easy access to an electrical outlet is ideal for musical improv shows. Although acoustic instruments are available if an electrical outlet is not possible.

Amplification
If the space is significantly big, Mac would need a sound system, preferably a wireless mic system.
