Two comedians break down the business math behind stand-up. A 150-seat venue with a $10 drink minimum can generate serious revenue, so comedians should demand payment that reflects their actual value, not just a spot on the flyer.
You know what I'm loving is you're not just talking about the stage, you're talking about the business.
Yes.
And a lot of things that comedians don't understand is there is a business side to this. Yeah, there's a side to this where you have to learn the business. So therefore, when I'm talking to a promoter, if I'm talking to a club owner, I can be like, well, hey, I'm going to bring you X to X, you know, It's 2-drink minimum. The club, well, I sold it out. It was a 150-room, right? Each drink was $10 apiece. So that means these the figures, and you want to give me $30?
Yeah, yeah.
Come on, bro, let's— you know what I'm saying? So, but people don't—
that's how you talk your worth.
And see what it is, some people, they're so quick to want to be on the flyer, and I tell people, I want my name on the check.
Flyer don't make you funny. Thing about being the trailblazer, you're gonna smell like smoke. Going city to city, we turn a corner. When you with Trailblazers smelling like smoke, pay attention to they joke.
