Open Comedy is a UK-based booking platform and editorial publication covering the live stand-up comedy industry. We connect comedians, bookers, and venues, and we report on the trends, people, and decisions shaping the scene.
What we cover
- Working-comic news: tours, bookings, club closures and openings.
- Industry decisions from streamers, festivals, agencies, and platforms that affect comedians’ careers.
- Booker and venue trends: what is selling, what is changing, what is at risk.
- Reported features on the realities of building a comedy career today.
