“I’ve been a long term subscriber of Next Up as I believe in its mission to support and grow the next generation of standup, while bringing accessibility to shows to people who may not be able to get to, or afford, live gigs.
The platform and support have been solid and reliable, with great customer support and subscriber engagement.”
“When it's cold wet midwinter dark been a long day nothing on tv too long till pay day or simply can't access live comedy for practical financial physical or mental health reasons, NextUp is here for you.
Got your PJs and a bottle of wine and your device your sorted.
First heard of in Lockdown #1 and 6y later a semi veteran lifetime member.
Our global community (Joe in NZ, others in USA) checked in with each other regularly and many met up IRL through our love of live comedy.
My comedy Rolodex has expanded exponentially beyond then known faces into newer talent watching their careers rise.”
“Only bought this app so I could watch Rich Wilson “The Train, The Story and The Bump” (which is fabulous for any that haven’t seen it yet!) But am now totally addicted !!
Best app I’ve ever bought !!”
“Best place to watch indie comedy! Amazing community too - as someone who can't get out much I feel I've made a great group of online friends. There's also livestreams every week which I now get really excited for (especially the bill murray).”
“I've always been on the lookout for new comedians as I prefer the comedy club atomosphere to stadium shows. After going to 50 years of Edinburgh Festivals my fondest memories are of taking a chance on a comedian I've never heard of and discovering a future star in a dank Edinburgh cellar. NextUp provides an easy way to do this every week with their live stream shows, while allowing depper dives with their amazing library of past performances. I still suppport my local (monthly) comedy club but when you live in a small town away from "the circuit" NextUp is the best way to keep in touch with the UK comedy scene. And you don't need to get the late bus home!”
“NextUp Comedy has been a real light for me. During times when my depression made it hard to leave the house, being able to watch live comedy from my sofa helped me feel less alone. Laughing along at home brought comfort, connection, and a bit of brightness back into some very dark days.”
