How do I book tickets to a comedy show?

Click any event for venue details, the lineup, and a link to the ticket page. Open Comedy doesn't sell tickets directly - you buy through the venue or promoter so they keep the full ticket price. A few shows are free or pay-on-the-door, noted on the event page.

How do comedians get gigs in the USA?

Create a free Open Comedy profile, upload a couple of video clips so promoters can see your style, then click "Apply" on any open spot. Promoters reply direct - no agents, no commission. Most active promoters respond within a few days.

How do I list my comedy night?

List a gig in under a minute - add the venue, date, the spots you have open, and your contact details. Comedians apply through the platform and you pick the lineup. Listing is free and we don't take a cut of ticket sales.

Comedy events in the USA are listed by venues, promoters, and comedy night hosts. Listings include open mic nights, pro nights, new material showcases, and headline shows. Comedians can apply directly for gigs with available spots through the Open Comedy platform.
