Detailed Walkthrough

 * Tommy Torini at The Aces in The Tops casino needs more performers to get a bigger audience. For each one you bring back, you get 3% of the cut (or 5% with a 50 barter check) and fame within New Vegas Strip. You must recruit:
 * The Human Comedian: Billy Knight. He is found just outside The Tops casino by the gate leading to the Lucky 38. You can 25 Barter check to give Billy some confidence to haggle, netting you 90 caps instead of 45. Alternately, using a 25 Barter check on Tommy Torini (Instead of Billy) will get you 90 caps instead of 45.
 * The Ghoul Comedian: Hadrian. He is found inside Atomic Wrangler Casino, you must convince James Garrett to release Hadrian from his contract. You first have the option of a 50 Barter check or a 50 Speech check(Allowing you to not pay any caps). If you select to pay him you can try to pass a 35 Barter check to lower the caps to 100, instead of 150 caps.
 * The Musician: The Lonesome Drifter. He is found east of El Dorado Dry Lake next to a Sunset Sarsaparilla bill board. It is possible to pass a 50 Barter check - The Mysterious Magnum is the reward.
 * The Singer: Bruce Isaac. He is found on the second floor of the Novac hotel.


 * Return to Tommy Torini after recruiting each performer.

Bugs

 * If the player recruits more than 1 performer at a time the quest will glitch. Even though the player can still receive their rewards the quest will not be marked finish and the journal will tell you to "Talk to Tommy Torini at the Tops". Continuing on with the game with this quest glitched resulted in a "gliched" save file. Prior to this, freezes were rare, after this it will freeze to inventory. Deleting the save completely fixed this.


 * Sometimes Billy Knight won't have any conversation options for recruiting him, and you will be unable to complete the quest. No known fix.


 * Sometimes when trying to go into the atomic wrangler, the game will freeze plus your xbox 360. (maybe)
