What is Straight for Pay?

The Stand-Up Hour

Straight for Pay, the solo show first debuted at the UCB Headliners series at the New York Comedy Festival in 2019 before touring across North America and Europe in 2022. In 2023, it was recorded and released as an album, filmed as a 1-hour special, and most recently, debuted at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

The Live Show

Launched in 2021 as a backyard queer comedy showcase, the show quickly developed a loyal cult following in LA’s indie comedy scene with regularly sold-out shows – all with no formal advertising or press.

Beginning in January 2023, Straight for Pay relocated to its new permanent home at The Glendale Room in Los Angeles where you can catch a brand new lineup of touring headliners and celebrity guest drop-ins every Tuesday night at 8pm.
