Frequently Asked Questions

How does Happ help comedians?

Happ helps comedians manage contracts, payments, and collaborations in one place - with tools to protect material ownership, control recording rights, set different rates by venue type, and include kill fee terms for every booking.

How do I prevent venues from recording my set without permission?

Your agreement includes a recording rights clause. Recording, filming, and audio capture require explicit consent and a separate licensing arrangement.

Can I charge differently for corporate vs. club shows?

Yes. Corporate rates, festival rates, and club rates are all separate in your agreement.

What if a show gets cancelled last minute?

Kill fee and deposit terms protect your date. Cancellations within the defined window trigger compensation.

Can I require full payment before I perform?

Yes. Set your final payment milestone before the event. The agreement ensures you're paid before you take the stage - not after.

What happens if a booking gets postponed instead of cancelled?

Postponements beyond your defined window are treated as new bookings - requiring fresh confirmation and a new deposit. The original date is released.

How does Happ help me manage multiple bookings and venues?

Every booker, event company, venue, and agent is organized in your Homebase with full contract and payment history. No more lost threads or forgotten contacts.
