NextUp is your digital window into the thriving UK comedy scene.

Watch weekly livestreams direct from comedy clubs and festivals, alongside a huge library of on-demand comedy specials and short sets (most of which are exclusive).

You can 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.

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.

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.
