We highly recommend that you upload a video of yourself doing stand-up comedy. This will give potential employers the best idea of what you have to offer for corporate events and shows. Think of it as an audition tape. My ComedyBook comedians have a better chance of getting booked when they have a video that is stand-up. If you choose to upload a different type of funny video, make sure it complies with our
