College buyers decide from what they can see: a clean, college-appropriate video, a short bio, photos, your price and the college dates you’ve really done. Each agency and association asks for its own version, so build the pieces once, fit them to each page’s rules, and send them the way it asks.
Where you are, the tests for the next stop, and the steps between, in the order most comics take them. The steps are the Career Field Manual's; mark each one as you go, and the day goes in your passport.
These are the tests the next stop’s buyers set in their own published rules. Tick each one when it’s true for you.

Published routeNationwide · College market · Email
At least 5–8 minutes of clean, college-appropriate material on video, a bio of 200 words at most, two high-resolution photos and your college dates.
Worth knowing. A submission to an agency isn’t a booking or a promise of representation.
Checked 10 November 2026Published routeNationwide · College market · Email
A college comedy agency’s representation inquiry: a bio, a headshot, your experience in the college market, your credits, your website and social links, and a video demo of 4–8 minutes, sent to the address on its page.
Worth knowing. It asks for a college-appropriate video, not a club set with a note that you can be clean, and does most of its reviewing in May and November.
Checked 10 November 2026Published routeNationwide · College market · Form
A form for entertainers looking for a college agent: the type of act, a bio, a headshot and a link to a quality video of a live performance, with clear picture and sound.
Worth knowing. It reaches out only if it’s interested. A submission to an agency isn’t a booking or a promise of representation.
Checked 10 November 2026None of the buyers on this page publishes what a school pays a comic, so this page gives no figure. NACA’s showcase application asks each act for its pricing: work yours out from your costs, and say what it includes.

By D.O.C. Editorial. This is one stop of the Stand-Up Career Atlas: colleges & campuses, stop 2 of 5. It's a way to plan, not a promise of bookings: it gives no expected years, its only figures are the ones buyers and venues publish on their own pages, and the buyers' rules are theirs.
