👋 Welcome to r/Laffstr — a comedy career community for comics building something bigger

Welcome to r/Laffstr.

This community is for comedians, comedy writers, open mic performers, producers, hosts, and anyone trying to get better at the craft and business of comedy.

Laffstr exists to help comics do more than just “go up when they can.” We’re here to talk about writing stronger jokes, building better sets, finding stage time, getting booked, marketing yourself, creating clips, building a fan base, and turning comedy into something with momentum.

You can post about:

• Joke writing and set-building questions
• Open mic lessons and stage-time wins
• Booking and gig strategy
• Comedy marketing and social media
• Show production
• Press kits, bios, flyers, and clips
• Comedy career questions
• Resources that help comics improve

A few ground rules:

Be useful. Be honest. Don’t steal jokes. Don’t punch down at comics who are learning. No spam, fake engagement, or drive-by self-promo. If you share your own work, add context and make it helpful.

To get started, introduce yourself:

Where are you based?
How long have you been doing comedy?
What are you working on right now?
What is one comedy goal you have this year?

Glad you’re here. Let’s build better comics, better shows, and a smarter comedy scene.
