Your Ten-Minute Video
Ten minutes gives a booker enough time to see whether your act has range and whether the first joke was an accident.
Show sustained control
Choose footage where your timing, transitions, and audience relationship remain solid beyond the opening burst.
A strong ten is useful for feature and showcase consideration.
The longer the clip, the more it should prove consistency.
Your Feature Video
A feature video should prove you can sustain professional middle-slot work, not merely produce ten excellent minutes.
Show longer structure
A feature buyer may want to see twenty or more minutes, especially if they do not know you. The clip should show pacing, transitions, and a real ending.
Use a room where the audio makes audience response clear.
A feature reel should prove you can do the feature job.
Your Headliner Reel
Headliner materials need to demonstrate not only joke quality but the ability to carry the room as the main event.
Show authority over time
A buyer considering forty-five or sixty minutes wants evidence that your act has depth, not a collection of five-minute television-style clips.
Long-form footage can answer questions short reels cannot.
Use short video to earn interest and long video to prove capacity.
Getting Good Club Footage
Club footage is valuable because it shows the act working in the environment buyers understand.
Choose the right night
A full room, normal show conditions, and a representative set are stronger than a staged fake audience.
Do not wait forever for perfection.
Useful club footage should look like a real club show, not a hostage video from the back wall.
Editing
Editing should improve clarity without rewriting what happened.
Remove dead mechanics
Walking to the stage, long setup, camera bumps, and technical gaps can be cut from promotional material.
Do not manufacture laughs or change joke meaning.
A comedy edit should preserve why the laugh happened.
