It will cost you more to book venues initially but it saves being tied into a lease that you can't get out of without severe financial penalties. When approaching venues, check that your target audience matches their target customers. If your comedy acts are aimed at bachelor parties and the venue is for 18-30 singles, you won't get very far. Are you based in the UK? If so, contact your local Business Link for help in setting up your business. They'll give you guidance on making your plans clearer so that you have a better approach to venues.
