Online booking for stand-up comedians

Beyond club spots and tours, many comedians earn from private work: company parties, conferences that want a host or a short set, birthdays and weddings, charity galas. Each starts with a conversation about the audience, the tone, the timing and what's off-limits. Some comedians also teach, running stand-up workshops for beginners or one-to-one writing sessions.

Those enquiries come through agents, social media and friends of friends. A booking page gives organisers a simple way to book a call on the slots you open, and gives workshop students a place to sign up.

On Book, each type of booking is a service with its own description, and a price if you show one, and you open slots for each at the length it takes. Open booking calls for event organisers and book the event date yourself from your calendar once it's agreed. For workshops, set how many places the slot has; each participant books one place. Use the description to say what's included, your travel area and any technical needs, like a microphone and a stage.

Clients book without an account, with their name, email and phone, and can add a note with the event date, venue and audience size. They get a confirmation email, and you get an email for every new booking. Reschedule or cancel from your bookings list and let the client know, and sync your calendar with Google, iPhone or Mac. Book doesn't sign contracts, sell show tickets or take payments. It costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited bookings and services, no commission, no contract.
