Tables define the room.
Use individual reserved seats around each table when guests choose their exact place and staff need stable table context.
COMEDY CLUB SEATING SOFTWARE · TABLE-LED ROOMS
Plan the room around the stage. Sell every reserved seat.
Draw your tables and rows once, then sell every show on your own website and at the door. Guests pick a seat at a table, or a whole table, and pay through your own payment gateway.

RELEASED STARTING CHART
Start from an actual comedy-room layout, not a blank canvas.
The released Comedy Club chart begins with spaced cabaret tables around a compact stage and rear reserved seating. Its 176 places are an editable starting point and not a capacity recommendation for your room. Rooms with fixed rows and a raised stage usually start from the theatre and performing arts layouts instead.

- Keep table groups and individual seat identity

CHOOSE THE ROOM MODEL FIRST
Table-led, row-led, or mixed: the map should match how the club actually operates.
The right starting structure depends on what the guest chooses and what staff must navigate during service.
Rows maximize the seating field.
Use straight or curved reserved rows when table service is secondary and the room behaves more like a small theatre.
Tables front, rows rear.
Combine premium table positions near the stage with reserved rows behind them while preserving one event inventory.
MODEL THE OPERATING ROOM
A useful chart carries more than dots.
Start with the stage relationship, then preserve the identifiers and context that buyers and operators need. The venue remains responsible for validating measurements, access, fire and occupancy rules, service clearances, and sightlines.
- Stage focusOrient sections and buyer navigation toward the performance.
- Table + seat identityKeep the table group while every reserved place remains selectable.
- Aisles + service pathsRepresent the deliberate space around tables instead of filling every gap.
- Categories + price zonesCarry position context without forcing price policy into the room geometry.
- Accessibility contextUse semantic accommodations and venue-authored notes; the chart is not access-route certification.
- Limited-view contextCommunicate venue-authored restricted or obstructed-view flags without promising a sightline.
ONE ROOM · MANY SHOWS
Reuse the layout. Keep each night independent.
The physical club can stay stable while showtime inventory, holds, blocks, sales, Orders, tickets, and entry belong to the individual event.

Comedy club seating questions
Still have a question? or email hello@seatlayer.io.
Can one chart contain both tables and rows?
Yes. Round tables with individually selectable chairs and straight or curved reserved rows live in the same chart.
Can the same room be reused for recurring shows?
Yes. Draw the room once. Every show uses it and keeps its own free, held, sold and blocked seats.
Can guests choose an exact seat or table online?
Yes. Sell on your own website with SeatLayer's checkout, or put the SDK seat picker inside your own platform and keep your checkout.
Is the 176-place template a recommendation?
No. It is an editable starting chart and not a capacity recommendation. Match it to your measured room, local rules, access needs and service paths.
How much does it cost to sell comedy club tickets?
$0.50 per confirmed ticket, and your first 25 tickets are free. There is no subscription. Guests pay into your own payment gateway.
Does SeatLayer book comedians or run the bar?
No. SeatLayer is not currently a performer-booking, staff-scheduling, CRM, food-and-drink or accounting system. It handles the room, the seats, the sale and entry.
