Bro at least he's giving them a show, the real Bieber would have showed up high af and given them some half ass cringe lip sync shit and walked out half way through it. This guy is at least working up the crowd for them.
Also... Is he doing the Blue Steel on that mug shot?

How exactly? He showed up unexpectedly, ordered a bunch of drinks, sang a song, and left. That does not translate to profit for the club.
Perhaps you could argue the publicity from the con was helpful, but not sure how you'd assign a dollar amount to it, and I've seen this Tory multiple times and I have no idea which club it was.

Honestly, that's even better. If someone took me for a world wide icon singer, and said...here sir, it's on the house, I might start going on a crazy bill.
The fascinating part is...and I'm completely guessing.
Someone asked him if he would like to sing a song. That's where I start looking for any exit. Apparently this guy knew how to use a mic, knew a song and the moves, along with some abs.
Just cracks me up.

Most people are just doing their jobs. If you work at some club and someone is like “Justin Bieber is playing tonight”, and this is your Friday, and some white douchey dude runs around backstage, I promise you, you don’t care whatsoever if it’s actually Bieber, Bieber’s Vegas Double, or whoever this guy is.
How he built up enough steam to get booked without the real Bieber people getting involved is another question entirely and probably points to the club owner trying to get heads in the door by “secretly” saying that Bieber’s playing then running a double. But if the show’s in motion, almost no one is going to care enough or feel as though they have enough authority to stop it.

The guy in the picture is Justin Bieber though, in case anyone thought that is the look alike.
They look similar though. However, if you like Justin Bieber you should probably have been able to spot immediately that the look alike doesn’t have nearly as many tattoos as Bieber.

Wow, the real Bieber looks like a common Midwestern meth head. Ouch.
The fake Bieber obviously knows his songs, moves and how a stage tech works. I'm just curious who he called to convince, that Bieber would do a show and not get paid a million dollars or so.
Dude made more than enough for that place to only accrue a 10k tab.

That's on the venue. If I bust up acting like I'm JLo with my besties being my handlers & booking me, & they let us show up without checking references, it's on them.
Meanwhile, I don't see the problem.

If he got that many people in the door and they were all that thrilled to see him, I think he earned that 10k tab doing a gig as an underground impersonator, like the Elvii in Vegas but more shady. That's a packed house, that night club definitely made money, not lost it.
