Comedy clipping that fills the room.

A sixty-minute set holds a dozen bits that would stop a scroll. We cut them from your specials, club sets, crowd work and podcast episodes, post them through clippers whose audiences come for the laugh, and count every view.

In short

What comedy clipping actually means for a comic

Comedy clipping means turning a comedian's specials, club sets, crowd work, sketches and podcast episodes into short native clips for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Facebook and X, then distributing them so new people find the comic and the tour dates. A campaign you control, credited and counted post by post.

  • Judgment over software An AI clip maker scores laughter volume. Our editors find the bit that lands cold, with no setup, in nine seconds.
  • A fan page reposts, an agency distributes A fan account posts your bit and keeps the follow. Our curated clipper network credits you and sends viewers to your dates.
  • Matched to the laugh Crowd work lands on crowd-work feeds. A dark bit lands where that crowd scrolls, not on a family channel.
  • Verified views Every post is tracked and every view verified before it reaches your report.

Two tracks

Two libraries in every comic: the set and the crowd

A recording is not one piece of content, it is two. We clip the written set and the unscripted moments separately, because they do different jobs and expose different material.

01 / Set track

Set track

Your written bits, tags and callbacks, from specials and club sets. These clips sell the hour: they show the voice and the craft, and bring viewers who want the full set.

  • The punchline in the first two seconds, the setup after
  • Only the bits you clear, never the closer before the special drops
  • Every clip ends on your handle and your dates

02 / Crowd-work track

Crowd-work track

Crowd work, hecklers, podcast riffs and green-room moments. These clips travel furthest, because they are new every night and burn nothing from the hour.

  • Unscripted moments cut tight, the laugh kept in
  • Posted to audiences that follow crowd work and live comedy
  • Every clip credits you as the comic on stage

How it works

How a comedy clipping campaign works

One recording in: a set, a special, an episode. The rest is a planned wave timed to your dates, not a burst the night after. Here is how a campaign works, step by step.

  1. 01

    Recording breakdown

    We watch the full set or episode, mark the bits that land without setup, separate written material from crowd work, and shortlist 15 to 40 clips depending on length and format.

  2. 02

    Native cuts

    Each clip is reframed in 9:16, captioned with the timing of the punchline, paced so the laugh stays in, and covered for its platform. Your name and your dates apply to every cut.

  3. 03

    Matched distribution

    We select clippers whose audiences fit your style and your crowd, then schedule the wave: platforms in sequence, set and crowd-work tracks staggered over 7 to 21 days around a release or a tour leg.

  4. 04

    Count, report, adjust

    Every post is tracked from the minute it goes live. You get verified views, engagement and the bits that moved followers and ticket clicks. The next recording is cut with that data.

Formats

What we clip

Club sets are the easy case. We also handle the comedy formats most clipping tools cut badly or skip.

  • 01

    Club sets and specials

    The written hour, clipped bit by bit. We cut what you clear and keep the closer out of the feed until the special is out.

  • 02

    Crowd work and hecklers

    New material every night that burns nothing. The exchange, the comeback, the room losing it. The strongest track for discovery.

  • 03

    Sketches and characters

    Scripted pieces cut to the one beat that works without context, with a cover frame that sells the premise in the grid.

  • 04

    Comedy podcasts and interviews

    The riff, the story, the guest losing it. Clips that send listeners to the full episode and build the show as a brand.

  • 05

    Open mics and works in progress

    Handled with care: clipped only when you say so, never a bit you are still writing. We flag anything that would hurt the hour.

  • 06

    Tour and backstage content

    Soundcheck, green room, the drive between cities. Clips that make a follower want to be in the room next time you are in town.

Where the clips go

Where comedy clips go

Each platform wants a different cut. A crowd-work short, a set reel and a TikTok clip are three edits, not one recording posted three times.

  • TikTok

    TikTok

    The fastest route from a bit to a new fan. Punchline in the first two seconds, captions timed to the laugh, the comments as a second crowd.

  • YouTube Shorts

    YouTube Shorts

    The closest to your full sets and specials. Shorts that send viewers to the long upload on the same channel.

  • Instagram Reels

    Instagram Reels

    The clips that get sent in group chats. Cover frames that work in the grid, bits built to be saved and shared.

  • Facebook

    Facebook

    Longer bits for older comedy audiences and local groups near your tour stops, where a date still sells.

  • X

    X

    The line that becomes a quote post. Short text-on-screen bits and the crowd-work exchange that starts an argument.

Themes

Comedy niches we cover

Clippers are grouped by niche. Your clips are posted by accounts whose followers already watch comics like you. If you run a show, our podcast clipping follows the same process, and sketch channels run like YouTube clipping.

  • Business

    Work, office and money humor. Clips for feeds that laugh at their own jobs during the meeting.

  • Coaching

    The self-help parody, the gym bit, the life-advice character. Clips for feeds that take themselves seriously until they do not.

  • SaaS

    Startup and tech humor, the demo joke, the founder parody. Clips that B2B feeds share on a Friday afternoon.

  • Film

    Movie bits, parodies and reviews from the stage, timed to release weeks and awards season.

  • TV series

    Recap bits and character parodies, posted while the show is trending and the takes are hot.

  • Music

    Musical comedy and parody songs, posted where a bit gets a duet and a remix.

  • Gaming

    Gaming bits, streamer humor and esports parodies. Clips for feeds that laugh at their own rank.

  • Tech

    Phone, app and gadget bits. Clips for feeds that argue about gear and need a break from it.

  • AI

    AI jokes, prompt bits and robot characters. Clips for feeds arguing about the future, who could use a laugh.

From view to result

Clipping that sells tickets, not just the view count

Clips are the top of the funnel. Comedy clipping only works if the laugh turns into a follow and the follow turns into a seat, so every campaign is built around the path from clip to room.

  • Every clip points to the dates

    Your handle, your next cities and where to buy, in the clip and the caption. No orphan views.

  • Comedy feeds first

    The crowd-work track reaches people who follow live comedy. They meet you through a comeback they wish they had made.

  • Timed to the drop

    A wave over 7 to 21 days around a special release, a tour announcement or a podcast episode, while the conversation is live.

  • Reporting you can act on

    Which bits, which platforms and which cities brought the most followers and ticket clicks. The next set is cut with that data.

Three options

Clipping agency vs AI clip maker vs a fan page reposting

Three ways your bits end up on a feed. Only one of them is yours.

Pricing, explained

What comedy clipping costs

The market sells three models. Most services hide which one they run. Here is how each works and what it does to quality.

  • Market model 1

    CPM (per 1,000 verified views)

    Market: roughly 0.10 to 2.00 dollars per 1,000 views, depending on how views are verified

    FitsA special release or a tour announcement with a reach goal and a budget cap

    Watch outThe cheapest CPMs come from meme pages reposting without credit and from inflated views. Ask how views are verified and whether your name is on the clip before comparing prices.

  • Market model 2

    Per clip (creation plus distribution)

    Market: 15 to 150 dollars per clip

    FitsComics who want a fixed number of quality clips per set

    Watch outA flat fee with no distribution plan is an editing service, not clipping.

  • Market model 3

    Monthly campaign

    Market: 2,000 to 10,000+ dollars per month

    FitsTouring comics and weekly podcasts that want a continuous presence

    Watch outCheck what is included: recordings covered, clips per set, platforms and reporting.

FAQ

Comedy clipping, questions answered

What is comedy clipping?

Comedy clipping is a done-for-you service that cuts a comedian's sets, specials, crowd work, sketches and podcast episodes into short native clips for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Facebook and X, then distributes them with credit so new people find the comic and the dates. It combines editing and distribution. An AI clip maker only finds moments, and a fan page only takes them.

Will clipping burn my material before the special comes out?

Not if you choose what travels. We clip two tracks: the written set and the crowd work. Before a special, most comics run the crowd-work track and a few cleared bits, and keep the closer and the new hour out of the feed. You approve every clip before the wave, and nothing you flag is ever cut.

Do you clip crowd work?

Yes, and it is usually the strongest track for discovery. Crowd work is new every night, burns nothing from the hour and shows the thing a feed cannot fake: a comic thinking on their feet. We cut the exchange tight, keep the room's reaction in and end on your handle and your next cities.

How many clips do you get from one set?

Between 15 and 40, depending on length and format. A taped hour yields more than a fifteen-minute club spot, and crowd-work nights yield more than a tight written set. We would rather ship 20 strong clips than 40 filler ones. After the first breakdown we tell you the realistic range for your material.

Which platforms work best for comedy clips?

TikTok and YouTube Shorts for discovery, where a punchline in the first two seconds finds people who have never heard of you. Instagram Reels for sharing, the clips that get sent in group chats. Facebook for older audiences and local groups near your tour stops. X for the one line that becomes a quote post. Each gets its own cut.

Is it legal to clip my sets, and who owns the clips?

Your material is yours, and you own every clip we deliver, to reuse anywhere. The recording may not be: a special taped by a network or a set filmed by a club can carry their rights. We check who owns the footage before the wave, clip only what is cleared, and flag anything that is not. Music under a bit is cut or cleared.

How do you keep my bits off fan pages and meme accounts?

We cannot police the internet, and we do not promise takedowns. What we do is make the credited version the one that travels first: your name on every clip, posted by clippers we review, timed to your release before a fan page gets to it. When your version is already everywhere, the repost adds reach instead of stealing it.

Can clipping sell tickets?

Yes, when the clip points to the dates and reaches the right city. Every clip and caption carries your handle, your next cities and where to buy, so a follower in that town can act. We report verified views per post and read the lift in followers and ticket clicks around each tour leg with you. We do not publish a number we cannot prove.

How much does comedy clipping cost?

It depends on how often you record, what you are willing to clip and the reach you want. The market runs three models, CPM, per clip and monthly, explained with ranges in the pricing section above. We quote a flat creation fee per campaign plus a distribution budget with a verified CPM, in writing, before anything is cut.

Can you clip a comedy podcast or a sketch channel?

Yes. A comedy podcast runs on the same process as our podcast clipping: the riff, the story and the guest losing it become clips that send listeners to the full episode. Sketch channels get the one beat that works without context and a cover frame that sells the premise. Both tracks apply, written and unscripted.

How fast are clips live after a show or a release?

First clips are cut within two business days of receiving the recording. The distribution wave starts once you approve the cut and runs over the following days. For a special release or a big announcement, we cut ahead from the material you clear and offer same-day clipping so the clip rides the conversation while it is live.

What do you need from me to start?

A link to one recording: a set, a special, a podcast episode or a sketch, plus what you want more of: followers, listeners or seats in specific cities. Within one business day you get a breakdown of the recording, the bits we would clip, the clippers we would match and a quote. No access to your accounts is required.
