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!

Hi gang,

We want to apologise for the issues with last night’s Best in Class stream, which unfortunately didn’t go ahead. We know how frustrating it must have been to be waiting, especially as this is the second time this specific show has been affected, and we’re really sorry for the lack of communication on our part.

The show is now rescheduled for Monday at 8:50 p.m.

We’re putting extra fail-safes in place, and it’ll also be available on catch-up in September.

If you were affected, drop us a line at support@nextupcomedy.com and we’ll make it right.

Thanks for bearing with us ❤️
