Mid-Tier Comedy Platform

A subscription-based streaming platform focused on mid-tier comedians who aren't getting Netflix specials, offering shorter-form comedy content at an affordable monthly price.

Key Points:

• Target Market:

  • Comedians below the Netflix/HBO special level
  • Not targeting top-tier comedians (Chris Rock, Seinfeld, Chappelle)
  • One level below Whitney Cummings-tier comedians

• Content Format:

  • Shorter sets (10-20 minute performances)
  • Alternative to traditional hour-long specials
  • Exclusive comedy content

• Business Model:

  • $5-7 monthly subscription
  • Aggregate multiple comedians on one platform
  • Similar model to what Crunchyroll did for anime

• Value Proposition:

  • Each comedian brings a few thousand dedicated fans
  • Viewers can discover new comedians
  • "All you can eat" pass for comedy content
  • Exclusive access to comedy performances

• Market Opportunity:

  • Fill gap between top-tier Netflix specials and unknown comedians
  • Leverage existing fan bases of mid-tier comedians
  • Create new revenue stream for working comedians
