Split Bill

A ‘split bill’ is when two comedians pair up to do one half of a show each. Sometimes the comedians are friends, or sometimes they’re shoved together out of convenience, but always the hope is that the two halves compliment and resonate with one another to appeal to a common audience. It’s a good deal for everyone: you get to be introduced to your new favourite comedian, and a comedian gets to make a new fan. Then of course most importantly, and most unusually, the comedians get to make a bit of money.
