What is NextUp?
NextUp is a streaming service for you to watch the best stand-up comedy. Featuring weekly livestreams direct from comedy clubs and festivals, alongside a huge library of on-demand comedy specials and short sets - many of which are exclusive.
Watch as much as you want, whenever you want, without any adverts – all for a ridiculously low price. With new shows every week, there's always a new comedian to discover.
Who are Monkey Barrel?
Monkey Barrel Comedy is in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town, with the best acts in the best rooms at the Fringe. Home to both Edinburgh Comedy Awards Best Comedy Show and Best Newcomer in 2022. Fourteen award nominees since 2017. Scotland’s Best Venue 2023 (Chortle Awards).
Can I pay for just one show?
For Angel Comedy's livestreams, you can purchase access to just one show. This can be achieved from the specific livestream's video watch page on NextUp.
However, purchasing a NextUp Annual Pass for £35/year is better value. This gives you unlimited access to all of the content on NextUp - including 50 livestreams from the Edinburgh Fringe and hundreds of on-demand comedy specials.
What are 'livestreams'
Only with NextUp can you tune in LIVE to comedy shows happening across the UK, including Angel Comedy Club.
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.
What comedians are on?
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 type of shows are on?
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.
Are NextUp good or evil?
Oh so good! NextUp split your Annual Pass with Angel Comedy and 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.
