Bangkok Comedy Community Guidelines

If comedy organisers agree to these, we can move quickly, freely and independently without unnecessary meetings or drama.

1. First come, first served on venues. If you want to use a venue another organiser is already working with, reach out to them first. If they say no, respect that answer.
2. Respect the sponsor. If someone has paid the cash equivalent of a flight for an exclusive deal with a comedian, reach out to them before organising anything with the comedian. Another club shouldn't advertise a comedian with a presumed exclusive deal while the first club is footing the bill. If you don't advertise them, it's not poaching. We shouldn't need to discourage anyone from performing at anyone else's show. We want people to have the best time in Bangkok and feel welcomed by the entire comedy scene. A Berlin Wall is a bad look. As is not paying for exclusivity until after they're arranging other gigs in Bangkok.
3. Stop insulting other organisers. It only hurts us all. If someone isn't following these guidelines, address it with them directly and politely, in the spirit of building bridges and smoothing things over. We don't have to be besties, but we can leave each other in peace.
4. Let's organise a festival from 14–24 January 2027. All are welcome to join in. There is no need to co-ordinate nor collaborate. Just announce the dates, promote the shit out of it and get some great comedians & press.
