Submit Your Comedy Show For Video Streaming!

#SubmitShow

GarageTV is taking submissions for indie comedy shows to stream on our DIY comedy streaming app!

GarageTV is a curated, profit-sharing streaming service for indie comedy producers. On GarageTV your show will live next to other low-budget, but vetted, comedy shows from other established and up-and-coming producers in the comedy community.

#AnotherPlaceToPost?

Ever felt frustrated putting up comedy shows on Youtube, TikTok, Insta, Patreon, and other public free-for-all video sites? People mainly watch short viral clips when they're on the move, but when people want to sit down, relax and watch a real produced comedy show they tend to go to a curated streaming service like Netflix or Hulu and cast it to their home theater. On Garage TV streaming service, they can sit back and binge your web series alongside dozens of other quality indie-comedy shows, instead of watching The Office for the fortyteenth time.

#Curated

Unlike Youtube or Patreon, Garage TV posting is not open to the public. We only put up shows we actually like and we know every show producer personally. Not all of our content is nobel-prize-worthy, but it's also not just a bunch of random improv show self-tapes. We are looking for shows that are well-edited, with visual elements and music. Shows that look like they could be on Comedy Central but extremely more low budget. If you submit your show we will communicate with you directly about if it would fit into our comedy show lineup. See below for the types of shows we are specifically looking for.

#Monetization

Garage TV is designed specifically as a profit-sharing model for curated well-produced comedy shows. We want to be a monetization tool for you to use to spread your show alongside other quality comedy content.

What you get is a cool DIY-looking video streaming platform with a Subscriber/Ad/Reward model where your fans can watch all of your video content in one place, including casting it to their home theaters. What all of us as comedy producers get is exposure to other comedy fan communities, and a central place for fans of indie comedy to congregate and keep track of under-discovered, up-and-coming, not-yet-called-to-the-major-leagues comedians, writers and producers.

You retain ownership of all your content and we require zero non-compete promise, so you can use our platform as a staging ground for shows that you are pitching to a corporate streamer. It's a stronger pitch to have your show on a cool DIY streamer rather than Youtube, so you can go to a meeting ready to show what it would look like on their app, and if Amazon Prime wants to buy it, you can pull from us with no penalty and make it live on their app the same day.

Our subscription starts at 2.99 a month and a third of that goes directly to the show producers. Our shows are automatically paid out 33% of all subscription fees, which means you, as a show producer, get a real amount of money for every subscribed view, compared to youtube where you don't see a dime until you have tens of thousands of subscribers, and even then you get much, much less than a third of the profit. Fans who don't subscribe can still watch episodes of your show with an ad, unless you make it Subscriber Only, and dedicated users can skip ads by earning rewards as they watch.

Garage TV has many streaming platform features such as Subscription/Ad model, Favorite Shows, Content Search, Episode Queue, Subscriber-Only content, and more, but we are a brand-new service and will add new features as soon as we can.

What Counts As A Comedy Show?

We are looking for many kinds of things, as long as they are comedic. We will communicate with you directly about how your show does or does not fit in with our current content. We are not just looking for tapes of a live show or comedy set shot on an iphone from the audience. On the other hand, a staged show, shot with multiple cameras and edited together with bumpers and music would be great. Shows should feel like they could be on a major streamer like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, etc.

Episodes of your show can be of any length and come out at any frequency. Your show can be finished, or in progress. For instance, your multi-episode web series from 2020 could be released in its entirety, or you can drop episodes your current series weekly, monthly, bi-monthly or however you want.

So what are we looking for? A daily or weekly comedy news or topical show, a stand-up comedy compilation show, a comedy competition show, a topical or fandom specific webcast, a high-tech improv show with overlays, a live sketch show with good production values.
