- 45 min paid set, Leeds, June 2026
Specimen. Yours takes about 5 minutes to make.
A paid room, 9pm, after dinner — the gig that pays rent
Two problems that never meet.
01 — The comic
You gig most weekends and you have an hour. The office manager filling a 300-person holiday party has never heard your name. Your material is an Instagram grid, a folder of clips, and a bio in three different fonts. None of it is something a planner can forward for approval.
Club spot: $50. Corporate room: 10 to 100 times that.
02 — The planner
An EA, an HR lead, or an internal-comms manager is handed a date and a budget. They can find a thousand comedians in 10 seconds, and no way to know which one works clean in front of the CEO. Their job is not to choose well. It is to not get it wrong.
So they book the same safe act again, or they book a magician.
The One-Sheet
One document, written for the inbox that approves the budget.
It exists in minutes, at its own permanent link, and it is worth the money before a single booking arrives. It is the thing you paste into every email you send for the rest of the year.
- Bio
- Written for a procurement inbox, not a comedy club.
- Corporate
- Plainly: what you do in a ballroom at 9pm, and what you leave out.
- Credits
- The rooms and companies you have played. Planners read this first.
- Running times
- 20, 30, 45, or 60 minutes. Whichever you actually run.
- Rate band
- So the enquiries you get are ones you would take.
- Territories
- Your city, and how far you travel for a fee.
- References
- Two lines from the planner who booked you last time.
The Clip Review
We watch a real paid set, end to end.
Every comic on the Roster submits video of a paid set, filmed in a real room, 10 minutes or more. We watch it, we transcribe it, and we confirm it is ready for a corporate room. Only then do they go live.
If a set is not cleared, we say why in plain words and refund the $149 in full. The One-Sheet stays theirs either way. We would rather lose the sale than put a risk on the Roster.

24 months, so you never repeat it
Anyone can list comedians. A Roster an office manager will trust with the Christmas party is a reputation, and it is the whole asset.

Clip Review
You send video of a paid set. We watch it and write to you within 48 hours.
The first 6 minutes need no account. There is no password, ever — the email you buy with is the account, and getting in is a link in your inbox.
What it costs
$149 once.
Nothing on the gig.
One Listing, one price, in US dollars. No recurring billing: the year is a fixed term, and at day 300 we email you a link to buy the next one.
| Where | You pay | They take |
|---|---|---|
| Room Ready | $149 for 12 months | 0% of your fee |
| A general entertainment marketplace | $359 a year | 2.5% of every booking |
| A corporate comedy agency | Nothing up front | 15–20% of every fee |
Room Ready never handles booking money. The planner pays you directly, at the number you agreed, and we never see it. The first corporate booking pays for the Listing several times over.
Planners pay nothing.
Forever.
Search the Roster by city, budget, running time, and how the set plays in a corporate room. Read the One-Sheet, send one Enquiry, and get a reply from the comic’s own address. No account, no password, no fee.
Opening city by city
Five minutes, and the document exists.
Paste your links, read what we wrote, change what is wrong. You only pay if you publish it. $149 for 12 months, and 0% of every fee you agree after that.
