Watching together is half the fun.

Comedian Q&A

type a question

The acts answer back.

Members-only Q&As with the comedians after their sets. Drop a question in the chat, see them answer it on stage. The opposite of one-way.

03 — Member Boards

Questions

Anything else?

What's a livestream actually like?
Multi-camera HD with crystal-clear sound, plus a live text chat where you can react and joke around with other members watching from home. Comedians dip into the chat for Q&As too. About 90% of livestreams stick around as a 7-day catch-up if you miss them live.
How often is something on live?
At least one live show every week from a UK comedy venue — the Comedy Store, Monkey Barrel, the Glee, Frog & Bucket, Angel, and the rest. Plus every August we stream a brand-new show every night for three weeks straight from the Edinburgh Fringe.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes — two clicks in your settings. No contracts, no cancellation fees, no winback emails. If you join on the 7-day free trial you won't be charged a thing if you cancel before day eight.
How does the 50% comedian split actually work?
Half of every membership payment goes straight to the comedians and venues whose shows you watched that month. Not “industry-leading rates” — literally half. The other half pays the engineers, the bandwidth, and the small team that runs the place. We also run things like the Care Home Tour and during COVID raised over £150k for acts who lost their income.
I've already subscribed via YouTube or Amazon channels.
Those are separate billing systems with a different (smaller) catalogue. The full NextUp library, the community, and the weekly livestreams all live here on the main site. See the side-by-side comparison →
