The Stand and Tixr: Comedy’s Smartest Ticket from First Click to Last Laugh

We’re teaming up with one of NYC’s most iconic comedy clubs to deliver a better fan experience while driving more revenue.

From late-night drop-ins to can't-miss headliners, The Stand Restaurant & Comedy Club has been at the heart of NYC’s buzzing comedy scene since 2012. With a stellar menu and craft cocktails, The Stand lets fans dine and drink right from their seats during the show. As The Stand continues to bring the biggest names in comedy to its Union Square stage, we’re working together to simplify ticket-buying for fans while powering the ticketing that brings shows to life.

The Stand has hosted some of the most influential comedians in modern comedy, including Dave Chappelle, Pete Davidson, Shane Gillis, Nikki Glaser, and Bill Burr. But behind the scenes, making sure fans get through the door — and that show planning runs smoothly — takes more than a strong lineup.

“Since 2012, we’ve built a business by creating elevated experiences for comedy fans,” said The Stand’s Co-Founder Paul Italia. “As demands change and with technology always 3 steps ahead, we feel teaming up with Tixr sets us up now and for the future. Fans can expect an intuitive, lightning-fast platform that makes it easy for our patrons to buy tickets, upgrade their experience, score VIP access, and even join a waitlist for a sold-out show.” 

We’re giving The Stand the right tools to run ticketing on their terms, including waitlists for high-demand shows and custom VIP options. The Stand joins our growing roster of renowned comedy clubs and festivals, including Laugh Factory and Great Outdoors Comedy Festival. With tools built to handle everything from intimate shows to nights that pack the house, we’re set up to grow alongside The Stand and meet the evolving needs of both their team and audience.

“There is no funnier room in New York than The Stand,” said Stéphane McGarry, VP of Partnerships at Tixr. “We’re thrilled to bring our cutting-edge, hassle-free ticketing to an already incredible night of food, vibe, and laughs. With Tixr, The Stand unlocks full control of fan data and new revenue opportunities to elevate the experience from purchase to punchline.”
