WHY THE PEOPLE’S COMEDY?
Since 2018, we’ve been on a mission to spotlight comics with something to say – smart, original, counter-culture voices – and make sure they’re actually paid for their graft.

✔ We've raised tens of thousands for comedians through our equal pay structure.
✔ We believe comedy shouldn't just be some "bread and circuses" distraction fest.
