The Stage on a Hay Al Dahk night. The crowd sits in a circle around the stage and the comedian stands with his back to us under two hanging lamps

The right to laugh

Can you laugh every day? No, but in our district the laughs are alive.

Friday 30 October show· 8:30 PM to 10:00 PM· The Stage, Al-Yasmeen, Riyadh

C comes from كوميدي Comedy، محتوى Content، إبداع Creative، ثقافة Culture، مفهوم Concept، مخصص Custom

We are not a jack of all trades, but we will give it a go, hahaha! The C comes from Comedy, Content, Creative, Culture, Concept, Custom. And no, we are still not everything to everyone!

A place to vent. Bottling it up is bad for you*

They say comedy comes from pain, but nobody said the comedian has to be miserable, hahaha. These are the sharpest people in the room, with no room to gather in, starving for attention, and a joke needs a crowd. A crowd that pays, and does not even have to laugh, hahaha! Now they have a district, and whoever wants them knows where to find them.

C District, the laugh district

( the district in numbers )

11stand-up nights, past and announced
3cities: Riyadh, Jeddah and Qassim
+20comedians on our stages
+500in the crowd

( the only things we know how to do )

How do we make more laughs?

01

Talent

You know how to be funny

From the jokes only you laugh at to your own tour, and in between, your training, your writing and the crowd that comes out just for you. Your bank balance will show it.

  • The open mic track With the first laugh
  • The writers' room With the first laugh
  • C District Academy After the second laugh
  • The School of Laugh Science After the second laugh
02

Platform

Your room needs laughs

You have a venue, you pay rent, you bought chairs that are not comfortable, haha, you have empty nights and nobody is laughing? Of course nobody is coming. That is why we come to you: we bring your room to life with laughs and plenty of money (just change the chairs, please).

  • Bring your venue and we fill it With the first laugh
  • The laugh-makers roster With the first laugh
  • Ticketing platforms With the first laugh
  • Show and crowd analytics (we have AI nerds) After the second laugh
03

Tech

Laughter runs on a system

We do not work with pen and paper or a WhatsApp group of 300 people. The district runs on a system we built ourselves: the invite, the RSVP and the emails come out of it, and the door knows who actually walked in. After the night, the numbers come back honest. They flatter nobody.

  • Invite and RSVP in one link With the first laugh
  • The door knows who actually came in With the first laugh
  • A dashboard for every night With the first laugh
  • Ask the District (it answers while we sleep) With the first laugh

We need to understand each other (I do not even understand me)!

Let's understand each other

For comedians

Where do you go after five jokes?

Prove you are funny: send your clips, your city and when you can get up on the open mic track. The joke is on you. The rest is on us.

Try to make us laugh
For venue owners

Got a café, a theatre or a hall with no laughs?

We take the whole night off your hands: the comedians, the show, the tickets and the crowd. You bring a room with comfortable chairs, and the cake gets split with everyone.

Ask for a slice
District folks

When did you last laugh?

You have surely heard we are not funny. Come see for yourself. After that, either you are one of the district's own, or go find yourself another district.

Take it or leave it

( our story, no bits )

We bring every room to life with laughter.

Where we are headed
Comedy becomes a real profession: we learn it, we perform it and we make a living from it, in every district and every city.
What do we do?
No idea, hahaha. We are still trying things: we discover the comedian, the venue and the crowd. The one sure thing is that we are the ones who bring them together.

Long live the laugh district, and whoever brought it.
