Help Nick Youssef Produce His Standup Special
Donation protected
Hey everyone! Over the last few years I've been trying to save and produce my very first standup special. I'm long overdue. The pandemic and skyrocketing prices of everything have made it next to impossible. I've been on tour nonstop and only bringing home enough to get by.
The Good News: comics don't have to wait for dimwitted gatekeepers (Comedy Central, late night, streamers) to give us the ok. We self-produce and release specials on our websites or YouTube and promote through our social media and podcasts.
The Bad News: specials are fucking expensive to make!
Really good ones can be done for 30K. I'm not asking for anywhere near that. I have no ego about this. No massive theater, elaborate backdrops or signage. This will be small, simple, but beautiful.
The Ask: $12,000.
Where the money will go:
- Renting 100- 200 seat black box theater in NYC
- 3 cameras
- 3 camera operators
- 1 director
- lighting kit(s)
- Audience coordinator
- Warm up act
- 1 editor
- promotional costs
- limited run show poster
