- We at Nifty Comedians have an unwavering mission: Empower Comedians To Take Back the Value of the Comedy They Create.
Why did we set out on this mission?
Current online comedy streaming platforms pay comedians about $0.01 per stream (Check out the shocking details in our Medium article below!). This extremely low pay could be enough to be the difference between emerging comedians staying in the comedy business, or getting out.
Not only are comedians getting screwed in compensation, when they ask for more their content gets taken down! Across current streaming platforms, individual comedians’ work is being taken down when they ask for a fair amount of compensation.
When a fan pays for a comedy streaming service, the lion’s share goes to the middleman. Comedians need a platform that empowers comedians to capture the lion’s share of their comedic value. This was the birth concept of Nifty Comedians.
Through comedians minting and selling their Stand-up Comedy Clips as Comedy NFTs and Comedy NFT collectors demonstrating their support and connection to these comedians, we serve as a platform where that comedic value can finally be properly captured.
Let’s empower comedians to take back the value of the comedy the create, letting traditional comedy streaming platform middlemen know that the joke is on them.

- Khalid Rahmaan - Picture Day
Date & location: April 15th, 2022 at Sesh Comedy, New York
Background: Khalid is a Brooklyn-bred stand-up comic. He made his late night debut on CONAN and Thrillist named him one of the 50 Best Undiscovered Comedians in America.
Commentary from Khalid: I was dating a younger woman, who never had picture day in her school. She was definitely a snooper. Claimed that an earring fell and rolled under the bed when she “happened upon” a box that was behind something else. She was sooo confused and a little weirded out, but I was able to explain and we had a good laugh about it later. Seems like a generational thing since some schools don’t do it anymore. The advent of smart phones with great cameras means that ppl already have so many professional quality pictures of their kids.

Commentary from TJ: I was messing around with the crowd seeing whose dating. The show wasn’t that great before hand then these two were kinda all over each other so I was curious and asked them what was going on. Then as soon as I heard boyfriends best friend I knew it was going to be a bunch of stuff to talk about. What may be interesting is that was my first time doing a longer set so I was quite nervous and then I ended on this
- Genesis Comedy Content post!
We're proud and excited to do our genesis comedy content post on Lenster with (nifty) comedian Espi Rivadeneira!!
Espi Rivadeneira is a stand up comedian from upstate New York. She has performed all over Texas, Los Angeles, New Jersey, Maine, and is currently based in New York City. She is passed at The Grisly Pear and hosts a weekly show, “Monday Night Comedy” every Monday 10pm at The Comedy Shop (formerly Lantern Comedy). Espi loves to perform daily and has a quirky, dark sense of humor.
