SeanTuttle
Founding Partner
Forever in Our Hearts. 1968-2025
When Celina, the CEO initially formed Fatgigs, before it was given a name, she and Sean partnered up with an idea to bring LA the very best experience in live performances, booking and overall management of shows and events. Sean believed that the start of the night, the door of the venue, was the first and most important impression. For those who knew him, for many decades, he set the gold bar standard with welcoming guests and artists alike. Sean was also known on the LA scene for his personable, humorous, relaxed yet professional managerial style. Overseeing several venues such as Whisky a Go-Go, Cat Club and Key Club, Sean possessed a perfect skill in both managing venues and in managing life. To those who knew him, loyal friend, is most used to describe him. Sean was a friend to many and he was the driving force in lending sound advice. His ability to maintain incredible connections with his staff, vendors, venue owners, clients and concert goers was unsurpassed. From the nooks of the Cat Club, to the mid level capacity of Whisky to the expansive space of the Key Club, Sean possessed a special talent for efficient management no matter how big or small the venue. He was deeply beloved for his leadership efforts and ability to maximize the guest experience while maintaining the venues integrity. His problem solving skills are unparalleled. His motto was there is no such thing as problems, only solutions. His ability to have a sense of humor in the hardest of times will be remembered. He joked. A lot... even as he fought an unexpected Brain Cancer Diagnosis in 2025. As the OG Partner in the Fatgigs Agency, he will always be remembered and beloved especially by our CEO and by those on the Fatgigs staff who knew him. That appreciation of Sean extends to all those in life and throughout his managerial reign in the most iconic of LA venues who had the pleasure to work alongside him or under his fun and wise guidance. May he rest in power and oversee the daily managerial operations of Fatgigs from on high.
