Built by comedy fans.
NextUp isn’t a faceless tech company. We’re a small team of comedy fans who built the platform we always wanted to exist. Every show is hand-picked. Every livestream is run by people who genuinely care about the acts on stage and the fans watching at home. We know the comedians, the venues and the community because we’re part of it.

What is NextUp?
NextUp is the ultimate comedy club, bringing the UK scene into one shared space. Watch livestreams direct from clubs and festivals like the Edinburgh Fringe, plus a huge on-demand library of specials and short sets - most of them exclusive. Watch as much as you want, whenever you want, with no adverts and new shows every week.
What is the NextUp Community?
NextUp isn’t just a streaming platform - it’s an online comedy club. Members chat live during livestreams, hang out in our message boards between shows, and get to know regulars from around the world.
Many fans end up discovering new comedians together and forming real friendships through the community. It’s a shared space built around people who genuinely love stand-up.
What comedians can I watch?
Our shows feature famous comedians and rising stars such as Maisie Adam, Ed Byrne, Josie Long, Miles Jupp, James Acaster, Richard Herring, Lou Sanders, Suzi Ruffel, Sam Simmons, Jen Brister, Shappi Khorsandi, Thanyia Moore, Jess Fostekew, Jordan Brookes, Rachel Parris, Lauren Pattison, Kiri Pritchard-Mclean, Reginald D Hunter, Mae Martin, Zoe Lyons, Paul Sinha, Mark Watson, Laura Lexx, Daliso Chaponda, Robert White + more.
What can I watch?
Shows are either 60 minute comedy ‘specials’ - like you’re watching a comedian on tour, or a mixed bill night with 10 minute sets from different acts - like you’re at the best comedy club in town. We tirelessly scout the circuit to serve you the best shows, with new and exclusive releases every week.
We also reflect the variety of the comedy scene better than any other platform with observational stand-up alongside character comedians, musical comedy, sketch groups, and alternative acts.
What are 'livestreams'?
Only with NextUp can you tune in LIVE to comedy shows happening across the UK.
These livestreams are multi-camera HD experiences with crystal clear sound and interactive text chat so you can react and comment with fans around the world.
Whether it's the Edinburgh Fringe or London's world famous Comedy Store, livestreams bring the ‘anything can happen’ magic of live comedy to your home.
Are NextUp good or evil?
Oh so good! NextUp split your Annual Pass 50/50 with the comedians you watch. We also provide free writing and rehearsal space and spearhead initiatives to increase representation in live comedy.
Social impact projects are supported such as 'The Care Home Tour' that saw comedians perform for dementia care home residents. During COVID-19, we raised over £150k for acts who lost their income.
By joining NextUp, not only can you discover the best live comedy, you’re supporting it too.
