Traceable, not invented
Every factual claim on a result card carries a source. Where we don't know, we say 'requires confirmation' rather than guessing.
Event sourcing, without the roster limits.
ShowSelect was built by Nightwig for the way event bookers actually work: you know what the night needs to feel like, not necessarily which supplier delivers it. We start with entertainment.
Why we built it
Most event booking starts with a roster. You browse whoever a single agency happens to represent, and the shape of your event gets quietly bent to fit. ShowSelect starts from the opposite end — with your brief — and works outwards across the wider market.
The result is a shortlist that answers the event you are actually running: the audience, the room, the budget, the tone and the moment you want people to remember.
Starting with talent
Entertainment is the hardest part of most events to source well, so it is where ShowSelect starts. Talent is the only live vertical today — it is the only area where you can search, shortlist and send an enquiry. Everything else on the site is an early access page, not a bookable service.
AI-powered search, human-backed booking
ShowSelect uses AI to interpret briefs and identify candidate suppliers across the market. Everything it produces is an indication, presented with the reasoning and sources behind it. Nothing is presented as confirmed unless a person has confirmed it.
Availability, fees, riders and contracting are handled by the Nightwig booking desk — experienced bookers who speak to acts, agents and management directly.
What we stand on
Never a fee we can't stand behind
ShowSelect never asserts a fee. Fees are confirmed by the booking desk, in writing, against your actual date.
Two ways in
Discovery for bookers who want options, and direct requests for bookers who already know exactly who they want.
One brief, one thread
Your brief, shortlist and enquiry all stay in one place, with a full history of every update from the desk.
Where we're going
ShowSelect is built so more of the event can move into the same sourcing environment. Each area below opens when we can do it properly — until then these pages only capture interest.
