WHO ARE WE
Welcome to Get Off Live Comedy. We’re an independent and confidential HR support service that deals with sexual harassment in live comedy.
In order to make the organisation relevant and industry led we surveyed over 800 workers and held 4 sets of focus groups with a diverse group of comedians and promoters. It was heartening to see that everyone has a common goal to remove sexual harrassment from our circuit, we truly think there is a commitment from all sides to bettering our industry.
After taking lengthy and detailed advice on what structure Get Off Comedy should take. We decided to formally establish as a CIC in January 2021 to make sure we continue to be focussed and industry led. Being a CIC means that we’re a social interest company and any “profits” we make that are deemed to be surplus are to be donated to a benefactor, we have elected the charity Rape Crisis to receive our surplus
.We supply members with a package of HR resources that will support them in dealing with the reality of managing harassment. Members who contribute financially and regularly (at least twice a year) engage with the training will be issued with a kitemark and their club will be listed on our website.
