Comedy Events Discovery Platform
Where fans find shows, performers find stages, and venues find audiences.
We designed and built a three-sided marketplace for the live comedy industry — connecting fans seeking shows, stand-up performers building their careers, and venues hosting events. One platform replacing the fragmented mix of Instagram DMs, Facebook events, and cold emails that defined the industry.

Everything Delivered by One Studio.
The Live Comedy Industry Was Running Entirely on Instagram DMs and Cold Emails.
Fans, performers, and venues were each trying to connect with the others — but had no shared infrastructure to do it. Discovery was fragmented, booking was informal, and the industry had no digital home of its own.
Comedy fans looking for local stand-up events had no dedicated platform. They relied on Instagram, Facebook Events, or word of mouth — all fragmented, inconsistent, and easy to miss.
Emerging comedians were cold-emailing venues, sliding into DMs, and posting on Reddit threads to find gigs. There was no professional channel to showcase their act and get in front of bookers.
Bars, cafés, and entertainment venues wanting to host comedy nights had no efficient way to find and vet performers, promote events, or build a comedy-night following.
The comedy industry was using generic tools — Instagram for promotion, email for booking, Eventbrite for ticketing — none of which were designed with comedians and venues in mind.
We Built a Three-Sided Marketplace Purpose-Built for Live Comedy.
Fans, performers, and venues each get a tailored experience — all on one platform, all connected in real time.
A location-aware show discovery feed where fans find comedy nights nearby, follow their favourite performers, and get show alerts — all in one place, without trawling social media.
Professional profiles for stand-up comedians featuring their bio, show calendar, video clips, and booking availability — giving them a legitimate, permanent presence independent of social media algorithms.
Venue profiles with upcoming comedy night schedules, gig-board postings for performers to apply, and direct booking request flows — replacing the chaotic email-and-DM booking process.
A structured, in-app booking workflow connecting performers and venue bookers — with show details, availability, and confirmation all handled within the platform.
Integrated event posting and promotion tools for venues and performers to market shows to their followers, drive ticket sales, and grow their comedy-night audiences.

A Platform the Live Comedy Industry Was Missing.
The comedy discovery platform filled a clear gap in the market — giving fans, performers, and venues their first dedicated, purpose-built home in a single app.
Fans, performers, and venue operators can all onboard independently and find value from day one — without requiring simultaneous critical mass on all three sides.
Stand-up comedians now have a professional home independent of algorithm-driven social platforms — a permanent, searchable presence they control.
"Build Me App delivered exactly what the comedy community needed — a platform that works for fans, performers, and venues simultaneously. The quality is there, the UX is smooth, and they nailed the vision."
