Stand-up comedy shows we produce

The Show Company doesn’t just send you a comedian’s number. We match the comedian to the room and produce the night, as we have in 50+ cities, for Graphic Era, DPS and BITS Pilani.

Stand-up booking FAQs

How much does it cost to book a stand-up comedian in India?

Emerging comedians typically start around ₹50,000–₹1.5 lakh; established touring names range ₹2–8 lakh; national headliners go well beyond. The venue, city, date and format all move the number — see our comedian booking cost guide for detailed ranges.

Can you suggest comedians that fit our audience and budget?

Yes — that’s the core of what we do. Share your city, audience profile and budget band and we’ll send a curated shortlist with real availability, instead of a generic roster page.

Do you handle sound, lighting and the stage too?

Yes. Through our sound and lighting partner VIGOR MENTORS we deliver full technical production — PA, monitors, stage wash, backdrop and show cues — alongside the artist booking.

Which cities do you cover?

We operate pan-India — Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Jaipur, Dehradun and 50+ cities so far. If your city has a venue, we can produce a show in it.

How do I book a comedian for a corporate event?

Send us the date, city, audience size and budget band. Within 48 hours you get a shortlist of comedians with a track record in corporate rooms, with real availability. Whoever you choose is briefed on your audience, industry and red lines before the show, and a corporate set typically runs 45–60 minutes. The booking is one contract with one point of contact. Most corporate events need 2–4 weeks’ notice; December and financial-year-end dates need 6–8 weeks.

How do you organise a comedy night?

Whether you book or hire a stand-up comedian for a fest, an offsite or a ticketed show, the night comes together in four steps. You brief us on the date, city, venue capacity, audience and budget band. Within 48 hours we send a shortlist. We then handle the artist contract, advance, travel and rider. On the night our production team runs the sound-check, compering and cues, with sound and lighting through VIGOR MENTORS.
