For promoters and comedy-night hosts
Fair time slots for every comic. No favouritism, no whiteboard.
Comics sign up from their phones. You get a running order. They build their set to the right length.
Comedy nights have a specific fairness problem that other events don't. Every comic you book tailors their set to the time you've told them. Promise them seven minutes, give them five on the night, and half their material doesn't land. The List takes the guesswork out: it tells you exactly how long each comic has based on how many people actually turn up, and shows the same running order to the room.
When comics sign up they can drop in a line about their set — new material, clean or blue, trigger warnings, whether they need a stool — so you're not asking eight people at the door. Mid-night arrivals are handled cleanly: their name joins the list, the plan adjusts, and everyone downstream sees the updated slot times on their phone.
Need to prove to a comic that the running order wasn't stacked? Tap Randomise and reshuffle the list live. Want to drop the strongest closer into the headline slot? Drag them into place. Everything's visible, nothing's hidden on your clipboard.
It's free, it doesn't need an app, and the data disappears two days after the night. If you run a weekly or monthly slot, use a Series — the QR you print stays the same every month; each night spins up a fresh running order.

Questions hosts ask
Can I tell comics how long they've got before the night?+
Yes — but the real value is the live adjustment. Comics who arrive early see a longer slot; if a bunch of walk-ons turn up, slots shrink and everyone sees the new number in real time.
Can comics specify things about their set?+
Yes. The signup form asks for 'set notes' — clean/blue, new material, tech needs. You see it on your dashboard when you're running the night.
Is the order fair if I run a regular night?+
Yes. Tap Randomise and the list reshuffles in front of the room. Or drag people into order — but visible in the same way to every performer, so there's no hidden favouritism.
Do I need to make accounts for each comic?+
No. Every comic just scans the QR you share, enters their name, and they're on. No email, no password, no app.
What about weekly or monthly nights?+
Use a Series — a stable QR that survives between events. You print it once, stick it near the door, and spin up a fresh night in one tap each time.
