the lot.

Brands.
In-house Teams. Agencies.

We work direct with brands to craft campaigns from scratch. We collaborate with in-house teams to elevate ideas with cheeky charm. And we can be sidekicks to agencies who need to add extra joy where it counts.

We build an insight-led brief, then find the funny that fits your brand and turns heads.

2. Creative

We put your brief out to our handpicked creators, they pitch their best ideas, and you choose your favourite. From copywriting and ads to socials, partnerships, and events – they’ve got it covered.

3. Production

Scripts, shoots, edits – we craft it all in-house, ready to roll out wherever you want it seen.

COMEDY CROWD MISSION

“We believe in the power of the crowd to make great comedy.”

Everyone experiences humour. It’s the most uniquely human trait.

It will survive a pandemic, a recession, a technological revolution. As long as there are people there will be comedy.

And everyone has their own unique stories to tell.

Comedy shouldn’t just be about the same old faces in slightly modified formats. True creativity comes from breaking the mould, challenging preconceptions and giving new ideas a chance.

Our mission is to empower everyone to make comedy. This brings variety and originality (and laughs too), and helps brands tell their story with genuinely engaging humour.

There are so many talented creators with original ideas, and at The Comedy Crowd we embrace them.

Traditional studios work with a handful of creators. We work with over 10,000 and growing.

We believe in empowering comedy creators to show the funny side of life.
