The booking toolkit for your Melbourne International Comedy Festival run

Melbourne, Australia · 24 March–18 April 2027, 26 days

Confirmed is the toolkit comedy producers use to book their shows. You can ask acts which days they can do, offer them spots and settle with everyone once the run ends. For a festival, you can buy a pass for the performances you put on, in place of a monthly plan.

Making sense of your run

With Confirmed, you can set up every performance of the run, ask acts which days they can do, and fill each night from the acts who are free. When an act accepts an offer, they're marked confirmed on the performance straight away.

It takes care of the formal side of a booking and leaves the conversations where they already are. You can talk to your acts on WhatsApp or Instagram as you always have, while the offer, the confirmation and the fee are in one place.

Where the run goes

Four weeks of admin in five stages

A fringe packs a year of bookings into a few weeks. Some performances skip a step, but most go through the stages below.

Survey

Set up every performance in the run, then ask acts which days they can do. The replies are tied to the spots they apply to, so you see the whole festival's availability in one grid.
How it works
Plan

Lay the run out and move acts around the calendar until it works. Nothing goes out while you plan, so no act hears about a night you might still change.
How it works
Offer

Offer performances across the whole run, one by one or all at once, and let acts answer on their own links. Their answers show up on each performance, so you can tell where the run stands at a glance.
How it works
Showtime

The day before each performance, message its acts with the running order and ask them to RSVP, and watch the double ticks come in. Once the run ends, see what each performance cost and what everyone is owed.

Show messaging Settlements

A show, start to finish

Two minutes from an empty date to a fully booked lineup, on-the-day RSVPs, and the show night itself.

A tour of one show through Confirmed: putting ten Fridays on the calendar and asking acts which they can do, filling the first night from their replies and sending offers, booking the last spots and asking everyone to RSVP, and running the show on the night.

Run the rooms too

If you run rooms at a fringe, Showtime gives every show in them the same simple way to run its lights and music, from £60 a room for the whole run.
