A sharp, industry-facing show that centers on the business of stand-up and talent promotion. Episodes routinely explore how comedians break into niches (college circuits, regional clubs, TV writing), how venues are run and booked, and the evolving landscape of promotion, branding, and revenue in comedy. Listeners get candid career trajectories, practical tactics for booking and monetization, and behind-the-scenes stories from promoters, agents, and performers across the UK and Ireland. Noteworthy is the show's focus on sustainable careers in a changing media environment, plus a steady stream of guests who blend performance with promotion and entrepreneurship, making it especially valuable for aspiring guests and industry sponsors alike.
