Comedy Clubs and Cruise Lines
We understand the operational realities of comedy clubs and cruise lines, where consistency, professionalism, and reliability matter as much as the performance itself. Our platform supports repeat bookings, standardized terms, and performers who are experienced in high-volume, high-expectation environments. This is built for operators who need talent they can trust night after night.
Corporate Events
Corporate events require comedians who understand timing, tone, and audience sensitivity. We work with professionals who know how to deliver in front of executives, clients, and mixed audiences without creating risk. The result is clean execution, clear expectations, and fewer surprises.
Colleges and Campus Events
College audiences are diverse, fast-moving, and unforgiving of unprepared performers. We prioritize comedians with real campus experience who understand content guidelines, student engagement, and institutional requirements. That means better shows and fewer issues for student activities and campus programming teams.
Independent Venues
Independent venues need talent that can draw, show up prepared, and work within real-world constraints. We focus on experienced performers who understand promotion, professionalism, and the business side of live comedy. This helps venues build sustainable programming instead of one-off experiments.

Vetted Professional Talent
Every performer on HTB has undergone a rigorous vetting process. We only list artists with proven corporate and professional track records, eliminating the risk of hobbyist interference.
Clear, Plain-Language Contracts
Handshakes don't protect events. We issue standardized, legally binding contracts for every engagement before a single dollar moves, ensuring both parties understand exactly what is expected.
Secure Funds Handling
Your payment is held securely in escrow. Funds are only released to performers post-event, providing buyers with the ultimate leverage and performers with the peace of mind that payment is guaranteed.
No Hidden Markups
Unlike traditional agencies, we don't hide 'administrative markups' in the talent fee. All costs are itemized and visible upfront. You know exactly what the talent is being paid and what our management fee is.
PRICING AND FEES

Upfront Fees, Full Transparency. No Games
Booking fees based on subscription tier. Even at Guest Buyer level you are paying less than HALF a typical agency markup.
Paid directly through Stripe securely with minimal fees
(0%-3% admin + approx 3% Stripe fee)
Most marketplaces bury their fees until the end or try to sneak them in where you won't notice. Not us.
