Greetings Comedian and or Agent/Manager/Persons mom.

Welcome to the sheet for how the Comedy Corner Underground works. We normally run shows Friday 8pm, Saturday at 8pm and 10pm during the winter, and cut the Saturday late in the summer when everyone is outside enjoying the air not hurting. There is also an option to add a Thursday show if it’s planned far enough in advance and you’re expecting to draw heavy enough.

Average sales November 15 to April 15 are typically paying headliners $1100 for three shows on a $15 ticket. From April 15th to November 15th in the warmer months, are usually paying $580 for 2 shows as we cut the late when it’s nice. You usually want to come here when the weather sucks. The club runs fully inclusive ticketing (starting 5/1/24), meaning sales tax and platform fees for our ticketing - so we list tickets for $17.50, and when someone checks out that one ticket is $17.50, two is $35, etc… We’re still calling it a $15 ticket as that’s what we’re net bringing in after tax and our ticket platform, we just hate adding fees as they’re annoying and everyone hates them.

The club records 100% of shows using 4 black magic cameras (they’re nice!), and tapes are provided free to all paid artists. We’ve also got house audio with 3 house mic channels, and split our recording into a Left (stage mic) Right (audience) stereo recording, allowing you to mix a little in post for submitting tapes to Sirius or whatever.

We have a corporate deal at the Delta Hotel by Marriott - it’s ~$5 cab from the club. When checking out, use code “P9C” in the corporate code - it will usually get the rate down to near $100-150/night. The club in winter months chips in $100/night onto the room.

Breakdown of list price

___________________________________________________________________________________________

We charge inclusive rates for ticketing, meaning people pay the actual advertised price for everything. Here’s the formula we use to calculate what our ticket prices are on our typical $15 ticket.

T=15+(Taxes)+(Yapsody Fee)+(Credit Card Fee)

With current taxes and fees, that means a $15 is listed at $19.02. The $4.02 is taxes, ticketing fees, and credit card fees that are all represented in the price.
