Setting Up a Fan Club / Membership for Your Comedy Audience on Curios
Deliver monthly perks, sell access passes, and grow your loyal fanbase
A Curios Fan Club Project lets devoted followers pay once (or once a year) and automatically receive every behind-the-scenes clip, mini-sketch, or VIP ticket code you drop into the collection—while you keep 100% of the revenue and harvest every member’s email for direct updates.
