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!

List of watched or partially watched

It would be great to be able to see what has already been watched or how much has been watched. Just a progress line under the icons would be helpful

Has the Funny Women livestream been cancelled?

I got a reminder from my calendar but there’s no show link in the app calendar. All FW social media still talking about a streaming partner so I’m a bit confused

Comedy Tours to Watch out For!

Edinburgh has come to a close and we're into tour season. Many of the great shows up at the Fringe will start to tour, alongside shows that haven't been up there.

Here are six shows I'd absolutely recommend catching on tour:

Laura Smyth : Living My Best Life

https://laurasmyth.com/pages/tour-dates

I love Laura. She's smart, hilarious and says it how it is. She's recently done Live at the Apollo and deserves to be absolutely huge.

Esther Manito : Hell Hath No Fury
https://www.seetickets.com/tour/esther-manito

I've loved Esther since seeing her first hour at Edinburgh a few years back...and she's on FIRE at the moment. Get in there!

Jordan Gray : Is It A Bird?
https://www.comedy.co.uk/JordanGrayTickets/

If you haven't seen this show yet you must! Jordan won our Biggest Award in Comedy at the fringe last year and went on to do multiple TV performances and a sold out show at the Palladium. The talent is insane.

Josie Long : Re-enchantment
https://josielong.seetickets.com/tour/josie-long

Josie is my favourite. She's political and f*cking funny. Her shows are always perfectly crafted and whilst I haven't seen this one, I will certainly be booking in for the tour.

Rosie Jones : Triple Threat

https://rosiejonescomedy.com/live/

Rosie's a national treasure - a must-see act who keeps getting pushed over by naughty Nish Kumar. She writes for and performs on loads of TV shows and this is your chance to catch her live on stage!

Jen Brister : The Optimist

http://www.jenbrister.co.uk/tour/

Jen is one of the funniest acts on the circuit - her rants are legendary. Definitely catch this tour.

Getting My Phil

Couldn't get to Edinburgh this year but one of the few shows I managed to see in Previews was Phil Ellis. Thought I'd take a look at the the stream to see what it was like in its proper setting and ended up watching the whole show again. Hugely enjoyable, but glad it wasn't in 3D.

Thankyou

Thankyou very much.
I always used to go to the Fringe.
I no longer can.
I have profound physical disabilities.
But you allow me to feel like I'm there.
Really. It's a unique joy to me.
Very, very special.
Thankyou.
Please feel free to increase your price if it subsides comedy like this.
Thankyou.
You've made a difference

NextUp tip jar

Hi guys
Is there any way you could set up a tip jar for yourself as I'm sure a lot of us would love to give you guys a little something for a drink (or meal) to say thanks for all your hard work over the last month bringing us all these shows.
Your hard work is much appreciated by all of us especially the ones like me who can't get out to live events easily.
As a event Tec myself I know how much goes in to one event but 50+ how the hell did you do it Carlos will be untangling cables till Christmas.
So BIG BIG thanks to all
Martin & Carolyn

Fringe Superb

Just quickly between shows popped in here to say thank you for an excellent fringe lineup. On Sunday I’ll be running between shows for real and am sad to be missing the Sunday streaming lineup even to be in Edinburgh in person.

Next Up live streaming Jazz Emu on Virgin channel 242?

Was anyone else aware NextUp have a live stream channel on Virgin 242? It appears to be streaming Jazz Emu live now (even though the planner said Shaparak Koursandi was live between 9-10pm. The odd thing is, the show is being interrupted by adverts. Guessing this is actually live as we're missing bits of the show.

Does anyone have a list of shows that will be streamed there for the final weekend? Only just found it and there's nothing I can find about it on the app.

Edit - I've got notification of 3 replies to this post, bit for some reason I can't now see any of them. Not sure if they've been deleted for some reason or if there's a fault with the app?
