Comedy Club Booking: Keep Your Stage Busy and Profitable
Monday nights aren’t typically the hottest nights at the bar. For many people, their nine-to-five operates from a.m. to p.m. For comedians, their “hours” begin after nine. Not many comedy clubs have people tossing back cold ones and laughing the morning away. And those nine-to-fivers aren’t going to the bars as much as they would on the weekends. This is obviously a problem for the comedy clubs that still need people to come in, whether it’s a Friday night or a Tuesday night.
So how do you get people in? You can’t rely on open mic nights. And spare a thought for the comedian trying to do crowd work to a near-empty house—like crowd-surfing with five people; it’s gonna be tough.
Maybe you’re counting on effective marketing to fill the seats. Maybe it’s a robust and highly ambitious business plan. That could work. But imagine a Venn diagram of idealism and reality. How big is the sliver in between the two circles? Similarly, people don’t go to comedy shows for the state-of-the-art sound systems (but they probably won’t return to a venue with a crappy one). Which is to say the cart is far less important than the horse in getting to your destination.
You can’t have a comedy bar without comedians.
