ComedyEvent

ComedyEvent is an Event subtype for stand-up shows, improv nights, comedy festivals, and any live comedy performance. It adds no properties of its own. Use performer for the comedian(s) on the bill. For comedy that is part of a larger performing arts festival, you could also use PerformingArtsEvent, but ComedyEvent is more specific and should be preferred.

For a complete property walkthrough, see the Event example. Every property shown there applies to ComedyEvent. Replace "@type": "Event" with "@type": "ComedyEvent".

Common ComedyEvent mistakes

Mistakes that pass validation but silently fail to earn rich results or mislead consumers walking the graph. Avoid these and your markup will be ahead of most sites in the wild.

  1. 01

    Using generic Event for a comedy show

    Wrong
    "@type": "Event" for a stand-up comedy night
    Right
    "@type": "ComedyEvent"

    ComedyEvent tells search engines this is a comedy performance. Event aggregators and Google can surface it for comedy-specific searches.
