That's some pretty terrible advice. If no one makes a profit from it, you certainly can. If you do profit, or if the establishment profits (e.g. you are charging the establishment for your shows, you accept tips, they have a cover charge for the audience) the answer is absolutely not, according to any and all reasonable interpretations of either US Copyright Law or the Digital Millineum Act.
