Our Comedy Broadcast Network

RooftopComedy records, produces and distributes live comedy performances from the best comedy clubs throughout North America and an expanding number of premium comedy venues in Europe and Asia. Using our remote broadcasting network, we film comedy every night of the week, 365 days a year. We're able to keep our fingers on the pulse of what comics are saying around the world. And give comedy fans access to the best performances each and every day.

Events and Productions

RooftopComedy produces original event programming, from local comedy festivals to national comedy events and tours. We utilize our wired network of comedy venues from which we can produce, record and broadcast the events along with our online interactive tools to distribute the experience.

Our original events include the annual National College Comedy Competition and the Aspen RooftopComedy Festival in Aspen, CO.

Why "Rooftop" Comedy?

In September 2005, some friends and former colleagues sat on a rooftop overlooking the San Francisco Bay putting a hurt on a couple of tasty bloody marys. We'd just decided to launch our company, but we were struggling for a good name. We were mixing two worlds filled with notoriously crappy business names: the Internet and the comedy industries: DigitalFerret.com; Shenanigan's Ha-Ha Hole Where Every Night is Ladies Night. The bar was set pretty low. Sitting on the roof that evening talking through all the things we wanted to do, we settled on RooftopComedy. Our first rooftop board meeting had been a good way to kick off a company, so why not?
