For comedians

Last updated October 7, 2026 (Roasts section added)

Jokosphere exists to send fans to your stuff. Here's how it works for you.

Not on Jokosphere yet?

Submit your YouTube channel. It's checked automatically, usually within an hour: at least 1,000 subscribers, at least 5 full-length videos, something posted in the last 6 months, and stand-up or comedy that's yours. You get a private link that shows whether it was added and why. We add channels, not bios: a bio appears only when Wikipedia has an article about you that passes our checks.

Every play is your YouTube view

We never download or re-host anything. Your videos play in YouTube's official embedded player, so plays count toward your views, and your channel name and a "Watch on YouTube" link stay on screen.

Official uploads in the main feed

Today, Specials, Podcasts and your Specials and Clips tabs only list videos from comedians' own channels and their official partners (Netflix Is A Joke, Dry Bar Comedy, 800 Pound Gorilla, Don't Tell Comedy, Just For Laughs and similar). Fan re-uploads of your stand-up never appear there.

Roasts

Roasts lists official roast sets (Comedy Central, Netflix, Dean Martin, club and comedian channels) and, because many famous club roasts only survive that way, real roasts uploaded by fans. Fan uploads carry a gray "Fan archive" label, appear only in Roasts and your Roasts tab, and never get a Subscribe button. To have one removed, email us; to take it down from YouTube itself, use YouTube's copyright process (below).

The Vault

The Vault is a separate, clearly labeled section for classic comedy radio and TV (Opie & Anthony, Ron & Fez, Stern, Tough Crowd and similar), much of which only survives on long-running fan archive channels. Clips from fan archives are marked "Fan archive" wherever they appear. The Vault is never mixed into the main feed, and Vault plays are left out of the plays we report to you. Fan archive uploaders get no Subscribe button; the comedians in the clip do.

Vault clips from fan archives are uploaded by fans to YouTube, not by us. If you're the comedian or the rights holder and want a clip removed from Jokosphere, email us from an address we can verify. We review every request and usually act within a few business days. To have a video taken down from YouTube itself, use YouTube's copyright process.

More subscribers

Your page and the player show a Subscribe button that opens YouTube's own subscribe confirmation for your channel.

Sell tickets

Your page links to your official site, and the Live tab lists the best comedy clubs in each city with links to their lineups. Tour dates are coming soon: once our Ticketmaster and SeatGeek connections are live, your upcoming shows will appear on your page under "On tour" and on Live near you, with ticket links.

Your page, your way

Email hello@jokosphere.com to:

• get your channel added to the daily feed,
• fix a wrong tag (name, style, "clean," special vs. clip),
• add your website, merch store, socials or podcast,
• or be removed. We'll take you out within a day, no questions asked.

Know what we send you

We count plays anonymously (no viewer data) and can send you a monthly "plays sent from Jokosphere" report. Just ask.
