Corporate Comedian Income
Like I have said before…
The comedian pay scale for coporate type comedians is far greater than for comedy club comedians.
But here’s the deal before you continue: If you do NOT have a funny and clean stand-up comedy act, you are already eliminated from this source of entertainment revenue. With that said, let’s talk about how much you can make in the corporate comedy markets.
As a general rule…

Here are the guidelines I teach for pricing yourself as a new corporate comedian with a clean and funny 30 minute act:

Your price only goes up from there as your referrals grow.
If you are dealing with an agency for corporate gigs, your minimum price is $2000. Period. If you charge less, the booking company won’t be able to make a dime off of you. If you tell an agency your price for a corporate show is $200…
You won’t get called backed or booked. They will know you are a rookie who doesn’t really work corporate gigs.
I have been laughed at personally on the phone by a booking agent when I told then my fee was $500 for a corporate gig.
The bottom line:
There’s big money in stand-up comedy if you have a clean and funny act and you have a a system to get booked for those gigs!
