A $15 ticket has no room for a percentage
Comedy tickets are cheap and rooms are small. A percentage fee plus a service charge can be a big slice of a $15 show.
Stand-up nights, open mics, club residencies and tours. Flat $0.99 per ticket, and 50¢ for rooms of 200 or fewer. Free tickets for open mics too.
What hurts
Comedy tickets are cheap and rooms are small. A percentage fee plus a service charge can be a big slice of a $15 show.
Running the same showcase every Thursday should not mean building it from scratch every Thursday.
The people who keep coming back are what keep a comedy night alive. You should be able to reach them.
