Can Improv Offer More Financially?

Before I begin, let me clarify the financial relationships between the Comedy Providers and the night-clubs where we do our shows who, for the sake of this blog, I’ll call our Host Partners.

For the majority of venues where I’ve produced the Comedy Providers keep the ticket money and the Host Partners get the bar and kitchen sales. They have their money and I have mine and we keep them separate. We see this in many venues as the 2-drink (or 2-item) minimum on top of the show ticket price.
