What are some creative ways to promote a comedy show?

Posted by admin

I am hosting a new comedy show Sundays in Tempe, Arizona. Besides the obvious (MySpace Bulletins, handing out flyers, advertising in the local papers - etc.), what other creative suggestions do you have to get a good crowd at my shows every week?

Have you considered posting a promotion video on Youtube or Google Video? Youtube is extremely popular and if the video makes people laugh, it will probably generate a lot of viewers, thus getting the word around.

    I imagine myself going to restaurants where people go on a date. I would probably approach the tables and tell the guys that the girls love men who makes them laugh, or has a sense of humor. Of course you can't just barge in to these kinds of restaurants so you would need to have a tie-up with management… you can probably do a bit part… sort of like a promotional tour along "dinner-date" restaurants…
