Funny Jokes and Insults
Any kind of comedy venture requires a little cash to kick start everything. From the funniest joke websites to full-blown comedy gigs at large venues. If you want to host a comedy event or just start your career with a bang, these tips will help you find out how to fund it!
Choosing a Venue
Find a location with good transport links or parking space, as well as the facilities your comedians need. You can see why pubs and clubs are often the best venues for comedy gigs! And hey, a little alcohol for the audience could go down a treat.
Gathering Equipment
Grab your notepad, you’re going to need to stock up.
- Backrooms and refreshments for the comedians.
- Microphones and stands for the stage.
- Spare wires, clips and microphones – because something always goes missing!
- Music system, unless the venue comes with one already installed.
Finding Comedians
New comedians will be cheaper, but they won’t get the best results necessarily! Mix some new comedians with tried and tested comedians who always perform well.
The quality of the acts will also help you determine how much to charge for the tickets. Don’t forget to take into account the day of the week too. Friday and Saturday nights will cost more to hire venues and customers will be more willing to pay more to spend the evening laughing.
No Need to Break the Bank
Hiring the venue and paying the comedians isn’t going to be cheap, but there’s no need to worry. If the bank of mum and dad (or gullible friends) is running dry, you could try a short-term loan.
You should always research before deciding if you should borrow money. The best way to do that is to compare loan providers. This choice is almost as important as choosing your comedians for your new comedy gig!
