About this Event
So you’ve been performing, now it’s time to learn the business.
Welcome to Launch Pad: Production & Ticket Sales, the FREE bi-weekly workshop that teaches comedians and aspiring producers how to build and fill comedy shows in Toronto.
Hosted by the owner of Backroom Comedy Club, this hands-on workshop pulls back the curtain on how successful shows are made; from concept to sell-out.
Every third Sunday of the month, we go deep on:
- How to book, structure, and host a comedy show.
- Understanding ticket sales psychology and grassroots marketing.
- Working with venues, building a loyal audience, and managing costs.
- How to get booked at Backroom — and what being part of our ecosystem looks like.
Why it’s different:
This isn’t theory. It's real, transparent, actionable information from a working comedy producer. You’ll walk out knowing exactly how shows succeed and how to position yourself within Toronto’s scene.
Who it’s for:
- Comedians who want more stage time and are ready to hustle.
- Aspiring producers or show-runners who want to start their own nights.
- Anyone curious about how to sell tickets in the live-comedy business.
