The fastest growing comedy network in the world
The old way of getting gigs is exhausting.
You should be writing jokes, not doing admin.
The outreach treadmill
Cold emails, Instagram DMs, and half-finished spreadsheets. You never know who opened your clip or if you are talking to the right person.
Invisible off stage
You crush live, but bookers never see it. Broken links, buried messages, and no single place that shows who you are and what you do.
Always a step behind
You hear about gigs in the group chat after the bill is full, or you are panic-replying to every “anyone free?” thread hoping something lands.
Let your best set get you booked.
Bookers want to see you perform, not read another wall of text. Upload your clips once on Open Comedy and they travel with every application, so you are not re-pasting the same links into DMs.
- Apply to gigs with a single click
- Your videos do the talking for you
- Stand out from comedians without footage
Know where you stand on every gig.
Stop guessing which promoter saw your message. See upcoming gigs you are running, spots you have applied for, and bookings you have locked in, all in one dashboard.
- My Events and My Bookings in one place
- Clear status on pending, accepted, and past gigs
- Fewer “did you get my email?” follow-ups
Get found, not just ignored.
Bookers search by location and distance. When a room needs someone last minute or wants a specific vibe, your profile can surface without you spamming another thread.
- Show up in searches near the venues you want
- Receive invitations when bookers pick you for a spot
- Less begging in comment sections, more real opportunities
Your rooms and contacts, organised.
Import promoters, MCs, and rooms you already know from a CSV so you are not retyping the same emails. Keep everyone in one list and reach out when you have new clips or dates.
- Upload a CSV from Mailchimp, Gmail, or a spreadsheet
- Preview rows before you save anything
- See who is already on Open Comedy
Available from your Contacts page after you sign in.
Put your comedy career on the map.
From your first open mic to paid weekend spots, in three steps.
Spots go public
Bookers post gigs on Open Comedy. You see what is open near you and get alerts, so you are not finding out in a buried group thread after the lineup is full.
One inbox, one apply
Build your profile once with video. Filter by location and spot type, whether you want five minutes at an open mic or a twenty-minute paid set, then apply without another cold DM.
Get picked
Your application lands in the booker's dashboard with your clips attached. They confirm you with a click, you get notified, and your bookings stay in one place.
