"I booked a $5 acoustic guitarist for my daughter's birthday and she CRIED happy tears. The SafePay meant I wasn't nervous about paying a stranger — best $5 I ever spent."
"As a street performer, I was always nervous about getting stiffed. ShowDime's escrow changed EVERYTHING. I see the money secured before I leave my house. Game changer."
"We booked a $20 illusionist for our company gala. He shut DOWN the room. HR asked me how I found him. I said ShowDime. Now the whole team uses it for every event."
ShowDime was born from a simple truth witnessed on the streets of Portland, Oregon. When a man transformed a paper napkin into a perfect rose while floating it through the air — thousands of people stopped, gasped, filmed, and shared. That magic — raw, immediate, human — never got booked on any platform. It was free, beautiful, and priceless. We asked: what if it didn't have to be? What if street performers, buskers, and rising artists could earn from their art — even $1 at a time? ShowDime is the answer.
🎯 Our Mission
We believe every performer deserves to be found. Every crowd deserves to be amazed. Every budget deserves entertainment. From the napkin-flower artist on a Portland corner to the headlining illusionist at a Vegas gala — ShowDime connects them all.
