A group of TikTokers who've honed their craft online are bringing their comedy to the real world.
Courtney Buchner says TikTok gave her a change to hone her comedy without the pressure of a live audience
TikTok bosses noticed many people like Courtney trying to take their comedy from feeds to theatres this year and the platform has been announced as a sponsor of the festival. Although Courtney says it's not something she's personally experienced, she knows there can be some snobbery about performers who've cut their teeth online rather than honing their craft in the "real world".
His videos where he and his sister Elizabeth pretend to be backing singers have earned him thousands of likes and caught the eye of some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry."That really got the ball - not even the ball rolling. It got the ball catapulted into the stratosphere.""It's so nice to meet people in real life," he says, comparing performing on stage to performing online.
With so many opportunities to go viral, Abi feels using social media to launch a more sustainable live career is a "natural progression" for comedians.
