Comedy clubs are a very popular entertainment venue, and there are a few approaches that can be taken in terms of starting a comedy club. The first and most costly option is to open a comedy club from a fixed location. The second and cheaper option is to establish a mobile comedy troop and book performances for the troop across the country for nightclub engagements, seminar performances, weddings, universities, colleges, and many other special occasion events.
