Want to start a comedy night in your bar or restaurant? Maybe even how to start a comedy club? We’re here to help!
Why should I do comedy shows?
The answer is simple – comedy club booking is very profitable and unique. Not every bar or restaurant in town offers it (like a band, DJ, etc.).
You can use it to bring patrons in on a slow night or make an average night a packed house! Plus, you can use comedy shows as a way to get crowds in, then have them stay all night with your DJ or karaoke afterwards. The ticket price, food, and drink sales make this a very profitable night.
Why should I choose The Comedian Company?
The first reason would be our long list of happy clients. The second reason is because we have many years of making comedy bar comedians work in venues such as comedy clubs, restaurants, bars, fraternal organizations, theaters, & more. The third reason is because we don’t make you sign a long contract. We’ll do contracts for one show, at first, to make sure you’re totally satisfied with our services. We have over 2,000 national touring comedians in our database. Give us a call today!
What kind of comedians do you have?
These are the same comedians you’d see at comedy clubs across the country each and every week. We have over 2,000 comedians in our system. Many of our comedians have appeared on the late night TV shows, America’s Got Talent, Netflix, Last Comic Standing, and the syndicated Bob & Tom Radio Show. We have the funniest comedians working the circuit today! We also have access to celebrity comedians.
We Have the Best Comedians and the Best Prices for Your Comedy Night!
What will it cost?
Price depends on several things, including your location for routing and the night you want to do a comedy show. Since we book our comedians on tours, we can offer them more work and the venue lower prices. For a once a month show, prices range from $500-1000 on average (depending on location) – comedy clubs get a big discount because they do 4-6 shows per week.
How long is a show?
In general, a show consists of two or three comedians and last roughly 90-105 minutes.
How much should my venue seat?
Comedy can be perfect in almost any venue. We look for establishments that seat at least 40 patrons, with an area for a stage or place for comedians to stand.
How often should I do stand-up comedy shows?
We suggest either once a week, bi-weekly, or monthly. This all depends on how big of a city you are in. The main thing is setting a schedule and sticking to it. This way, customers will always know when the shows are. You can always add more shows as business grows.
Can I start a full-time comedy club?
Yes, we can help you open a full-time comedy club. We have the resources and available talent to help others succeed as comedy club hosts. Whether it’s a Friday-Saturday club or a club open 5-days a week, we can help!
What does The Comedian Company provide?
Each room we book is supplied with our “tip sheets” on making comedy work, flyers for your comedy show, & we are easily accessible any time via phone or email to help any time.

Comedian Pricing Discounts
Price depends on several things, including your location and your date. However, whatever the details, we’ll make the arrangement affordable. That’s because we book our comedians on tours rather than on one-night gigs. They get more work, and you get lower prices. For a once-a-month show, prices range from $500-$1000, on average; but at comedy clubs, which put on 4-8 shows per week, big discounts can be had.

Why Consistent Comedy Club Booking Matters
Ralph Waldo Emerson famously wrote, “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.” While Emerson was referring to rigidity in writing, it’s important to note that his most famous essay, “Self-Reliance,” was made possible because he had plenty of expendable income to devote to just writing after his wife passed and left him a good deal of money. For the comedy club business, consistency is the opposite of whatever a hobgoblin is.
An audience member for stand-up comedy, much like the patrons of bars and restaurants, expects consistency. And consistency creates a reputation. And a reputation means customers.
By outsourcing your comedy club booking, you help ensure consistency. Having access to a regular lineup is a component of consistency—it helps audiences know what to expect. Speed is also a huge component. Staking your hopes on someone showing up is nail-biting. Letting a booking site provide you with tried and tested comedy bar comedians keeps those fingernails away from gnashing teeth.
And if you’re a small or nascent club, you may lack the full access to local comedians that a booking site could provide.
So how does it work? We’re glad you asked.
How a Booking Agency Fills Open Nights Fast
Finding comedy bar comedians through a booking agency is simple. And to reiterate, it helps slash away the stress of the unknown (is there any greater kind of stress?). With a few pertinent details like budget and dates, we’re off to the races. Gone is any semblance of horse trading. Not to mention the savings in admin work. We’ll even take care of contracts and assist in promotion.
We’ll give you greater peace of mind by pulling from our vast roster, giving you a consistent lineup. Week after week. Last-minute changes? No biggie. We have a smorgasbord of talent. Speaking of reiterating, as a comedy club booking agency, we can help you lock down recurring bookings of popular acts for—you got it—consistency (eat your hypocritical heart out, Emerson).
