Frequently asked

Comedy, in plain terms.

How do I handle a resurfaced old clip?

With a prepared position agreed in advance. Improvised responses in the first hours cause most of the lasting damage.

Are brand partnerships viable for comedians?

Yes, with brands that understand the risk and value the audience. Category fit matters more than for other talent.

Should I self-release or take a platform deal?

Platforms buy reach and take rights. Self-release keeps ownership and requires an audience you already have.

See the whole practice

Old material resurfaces

Comedy carries a risk profile no other performance category shares. Preparedness is not pessimism; it is standard practice.

Specials need a release strategy

A special dropped without a plan reaches the existing audience and nobody else. Platform choice, timing and promotion decide whether it grows the base.

Touring economics are frequently misunderstood

Full rooms routinely lose money once travel, crew and venue splits are counted. Route design is the difference.
