What’s in it

  • Events

    Every upcoming comedy show: start time in the venue’s timezone, lineup, pricing, sold-out and cancellation state.

  • Venues

    Comedy clubs, theatres and promoters with address, coordinates, capacity and house rules.

  • Comedians

    Entity-resolved performers with bio, socials, follower counts and every show they’re booked on.

  • Cities

    The metros Revel covers, each with its IANA timezone — the key for city-scoped queries.

One request

curl "https://api.revel.show/v1/events?city=la&limit=2" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer rvl_sk_live_…"

Paste the secret from your app page and you’re reading the same data the Revel app serves. Every list endpoint takes updated_since, so you only pull what changed since your last request.

  • Link to the Revel event page for tickets — it’s the url on every event.
