The industry’s most prominent comedy tour booking agent has been on a roll of late thanks to the pandemic-fueled pent-up demand for live events. Berkowitz’s top clients include Bill Burr, Amy Schumer, John Mulaney, Kevin Hart, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. The innovative agent has elevated the game for comedy tours, bringing in sponsors, events and experiences that command high ticket prices from dedicated fans. Streaming stand–up specials and podcasts are the next frontier for up-and-coming performers, who are always looking to pump up content that drives audiences to turn out for live shows. Another area of focus for Berkowitz is increasing security for performers following a series of disturbing incidents at live shows, such as a concertgoer throwing a drink at Cardi B in July.
