FOR FANS
OF COMEDY
Get closer to comedy — and the people who love it.
Become Part of the Comedy World
Most people love comedy, but experience it passively—through clips, feeds, and the occasional night out. Laughter happens, then disappears, rarely turning into conversation or connection. Best Joke Wins exists to change that by turning comedy from something people consume alone into something they experience together.
Best Joke Wins is a home for fans who want to get closer to the craft. The platform brings comedy lovers into small, intentional groups where humour becomes a shared experience, not a broadcast. Some fans take part in light, creative challenges, while others simply watch, listen, and talk about comedy with people who care just as much. There’s no pressure to perform—only space to belong.
Over time, these shared moments build real connection. Fans discover new comedians, find clubs that match their taste, and connect with people locally who enjoy comedy in the same way. Going to a gig feels less like a solo decision and more like something to share. Best Joke Wins gives comedy the social space it’s been missing.
Watch Comedy Showcases From Around the World
Explore curated comedy showcases featuring emerging writers and performers from your city and from around the world. These aren’t random clips pulled into an endless feed, but structured showcases designed to give each comedian’s work the time and attention it deserves. Sets are presented in focused sessions, allowing audiences to watch with intent rather than scroll past in seconds.
Each showcase brings together material from comedians actively developing their craft. This means you’re not just watching finished, overproduced highlights—you’re seeing work in progress, new ideas taking shape, and styles evolving in real time. As a fan, you get closer to the creative process and begin to recognise voices early, long before they break through into wider circuits.
The showcase format encourages shared viewing rather than isolated consumption. Fans watch together, discuss sets, and return to follow comedians they’ve connected with. Over time, this creates a clearer relationship between audience and performer, where discovery feels personal rather than accidental. Best Joke Wins turns finding new comedy into a collective experience—one that values attention, context, and craft over volume and virality.
Find the Best Comedy Clubs in the World
Our Ambassador Clubs represent the top comedy venues in their cities. Fans can explore listings for the best local clubs and international destinations, follow them for updates, see who’s performing, and never miss a great night of stand-up again. Whether you're in Glasgow, New York, Berlin, or Cape Town — we help you find comedy wherever you are.
Join Daily Joke-Writing Challenges
Each day, fans have the option to join a daily joke writing challenge, where you’re placed into a small cohort of comedy fans—often from your local area. These groups are intentionally kept small so that everyone can be heard and conversations don’t disappear into the noise.
The challenge gives the group a shared starting point. You can write a joke, react to others, or simply follow along. There’s no pressure to perform and no expectation to be “funny enough.” The goal isn’t competition—it’s participation. Over time, shared humour creates familiarity, and familiarity creates connection.
Turn a Passive Interest Into an Active Hobby
Most people enjoy comedy from the sidelines — catching clips online, watching specials, or going to the occasional gig — but Best Joke Wins transforms that passive interest into a fun, active hobby. As a fan, you can explore new comedians, follow your city’s Ambassador Club, join writing prompts, take part in discussions, vote on your favourite jokes, and connect with other people who share your sense of humour. You’re no longer just watching comedy happen; you’re participating in the creative energy that fuels it. Whether you’re discovering future stars, attending shows with new friends, or joining the conversation around joke-writing and performance, the platform makes comedy something you can truly belong to.
Experience Comedy the Way It Was Meant to Be — Together
Comedy is more fun when shared. Join local groups where people discuss shows, share recommendations, organise meet-ups, and find friends attending the same gigs. Whether you're looking for a night out or a community to belong to, you’ll find people who share your sense of humour and your curiosity.
