Key Deal Facts
We’ve served over 250,000 comedy fans and have worked with some of the biggest comedians in the game, including Chris Distefano, Brendan Schaub, Donnell Rawlings, Tony Baker, and Eddie Griffin.
Big Laugh Comedy drove over $2M in ticket sales and over $3M in food and beverage sales between October 2020 and October 2021. Although we didn't get a cut of the food and beverage sales, once we begin operating our own venues this will be a significant revenue stream.
U.S. comedy clubs boast a market size of over $320M as of 2022, while the digital content creation market continues to rapidly grow.*
