EP42 - Jeremy Lee (JLA) - How To Crack The Corporate Comedy Circuit

Jeremy Lee is one of the co-founders of the corporate booking agency JLA. JLA are the biggest corporate booking company in the country dealing with over 2,500 gigs per year booking comedians, writers, performers and even ex-prime ministers.

I got him on the podcast to talk about...

 

How to get started on the corporate gigging circuit? How much can you expect to get paid for a corporate gig? Why he tries not to book “famous” comedians over good comedians. How the recession helped the corporate comedy circuit. Tips for people wanting to perform well at a corporate gig. Are corporate gigs a “boys club”?

 

AND MORE!

 

This podcast would be useful to anyone comedians who are looking at breaking into the corporate circuit or newer comedians who maybe have some preconceptions of the corporate scene. This podcast dispels a lot of myths about these gigs and aims to help performers get into the circuit.

My 2nd book is finally out! It's called "How To Make A Living By Working For Free" and you can buy it here for £5 (digital) or £8 (paperback). Here's the synopsis of the book - 

 

The book is a how-to guide for artists to create their own online community for their work and how that community can support the artist to become sustainable in every way.

The book takes a critical and in-depth look at the media's perception of "free content" vs the reality of what the general public see it as.

If you're an artist in the modern age who wants a sustainable audience you're no longer just an artist, you're a community leader.

 

If you'd like to read the first few chapters of the book you can find a PDF version of that here.
