NextUp Comedy

Pinned posts

Welcome to Ask a Comedian - our little corner of the NextUp community for getting closer to the people who do the mindblowing, and surprisingly full-on job of making people laugh. 🎭This channel is a place to drop questions for comedians about anything comedy. From writing and finding ideas, prep and pre-show routines, nerves and confidence, gigs that went great (and gigs that didn’t) to touring, crowd work, heckles, bombing, you name it! Ask what you’re curious about, whether you’re a comedy nerd, a casual watcher, or someone who performs. Keep it respectful (obvs!)How it works: We’ll post when we're meeting up with a comedian to film their special or chatting with them, you leave your questions in the comments and we’ll pick 3–5 to put to them, and share the answers back here. 🎤 Welcome to The Pub! 🗣️This is the bit of the community that’s less “what’s on this week” and more “what are we all chatting about”.Think of it like the pub after the gig (a big thank you to Indulis for the inspiration!) Just a place to hang out, talk nonsense, answer silly polls, share opinions and generally loiter...I’ll be dropping the odd BTS or mildly pointless thought in here 😉, and you’re very welcome to do the same. Join in loads, dip in occasionally or you know, just sit in the corner nursing a drink. All acceptable pub behaviour!Pull up a chair and make yourself at home.Cheers!

What's happening this week on NextUp! 🔴

Hello hello gang! Here's what coming up for you...

🎤Roast Battle Scotland: Streaming from Monkey Barrel Comedy, this is the show that turns smack talk into an art form! Roast Battle puts comedians head-to-head in a battle of verbal onslaughts. Not for the faint-hearted, each battler has five roast jokes to defeat their opponent. MC is Billy Kirkwood!

Oh and if you want to join in on the cryptic fun happening on Instagram right now, you definitely should! 👀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hahaha! NextUp you guys are so unserious 🤣 This poll made me laugh. But in all seriousness, I'm now wondering if Mary Poppins is probably the better choice.
