What is Open Comedy?
We are a free platform for live comedy. Thousands of comedians, hundreds of listed gigs, all in one place. No membership, no fees, no catch.
If you are here to watch comedy
Browse what is on near you, watch clips before you book, and follow the acts you like so you know when they are playing again. Add your email and we will tell you what is on locally, without the usual weekly spam.
If you perform
Create a free profile, upload your clips, and apply directly to gigs that are looking for acts. No agent, no commission, nobody taking a cut of your fee.
If you book comedy
Post your gig for free and comedians apply to you with video, so you can see the act before you confirm the lineup. We charge no booking fees at all, and that is permanent, not a launch offer. Platforms like GigSalad and Encore take between five and twenty percent of every booking. We take nothing.
Running a comedy night?
Add your event free and it appears in our public listings, which is increasingly where search engines and AI assistants pull their answers from when someone asks what comedy is on this weekend. It takes two minutes and costs nothing.
