The good ending was that several people came up for my card, including the 'client' who informed me she owns a printing company that specializes in wedding/party invitations, etc. and often gets inquiries about entertainment ...

Glad it worked out for you and all that, but clearly there was a failure of communication here about the terms of your engagement. It just turns me the wrong way that anyone would impose on you without telling you the deal up front. If it'd been me, there would have been two solo acts that night... but that's me.
