Seasons greetings from the Confirmed team!

If you attended our How Comedy Clubs Succeed webinar earlier this month, then thank you very much for attending. We had over 80 people sign up, and we’re so glad to have met so many of you.

We will be posting excerpts from the webinar on our Instagram page, so please drop us a follow if you don’t already. The first reel with insights from Stephen about what you’re actually selling when you run a comedy night is already up!

We’ve also put the slides we used during the webinar online. Feel free to to check them out here.

New Features

We’ve made lots of improvements to the reliability and stability of Confirmed including:

• Improving reliability when acts upload their photos

• Batch edits to MP3 files in Showtime

• Improvements to email deliverability and tracking

In the new year, we’ll be launching a brand new way to create availability surveys, introduce even more ways to control your lighting and sound from a mobile device, and will make the first inroads into supporting delegated access to accounts, so agents can reply to offers on behalf of acts that they manage.

Final chance for Cyber Monday offer

A few people were disappointed that they missed out on our never-done-before 50% off any annual plan for one year promotion. We’ve extended this offer to existing customers too, but only until December 31st 2024. Please drop us an email if you’d like this applied to your account before then.

Sneak Peak: Free DMX Lighting Desk

We’re working on something fun for comedy clubs looking to improve the quality of their lighting, a free web-hosted DMX lighting desk.

If you’re brand new to this, you can think of DMX lighting as a standardised way of controlling your stage lights. Lights from different brands, and different types of light, can all be controlled from the same lighting desk (or in our case, from our software), because they all talk the same language.

DMX lighting is very cheap, and is pretty easy to set up. You give each light an address, so the software knows which light is which, and tell the software what each channel on the light does (if your light can do different colours, then you’ll need to know which channel controls which colour).

DMX Monster is still in pre-launch, so we’re not telling anybody about it yet. But, if tinkering with your lights is one of your new year’s resolutions, then feel free to have a play about with it. We’re always at the end of an email if we can be of any help.

We hope that 2025 is a fantastic year for your comedy club! We’re so grateful for all of your support, and look forward to supporting you with all of your success, in what is likely to be another challenging year for the entertainment industry.
