Artist Management

Artist profiles are the foundation of your event website. Each artist gets their own public page with a bio, images, social links, and a list of upcoming shows.

For more detail on finding, ordering and updating artists, see Artists in the Artists and Shows section.

Creating an Artist

1. Navigate to Artists → New Artist.
2. Enter the Artist Name and Show Title (the title that appears on tickets and the website).
3. Click Save and you’ll be taken to the Edit Artist page.
4. Enter the Description — the rich text editor supports bold, italics, headings and more. This is the blurb about your artist or event.
5. Upload a square Profile Image (square, 1080 × 1080 px) and a landscape Banner Image (landscape, 1920 × 1080 px).
6. Click Save.

Artist status workflow

Artists move through a status pipeline before appearing publicly:

Status	Visibility
Draft	Visible to admins only
Under Review	Visible to admins only
Public Preview	Visible on site but not on sale - great for collecting email addresses
Public On Sale	Fully visible; tickets can be purchased
Archived	Hidden from public site

Note

Only artists with status Public Preview or Public On Sale will appear in search results and on your event listings.

Adding quotes / testimonials

You can attach short quotes about an artist (from press reviews, venues, etc.) from the Quotes tab on the artist detail page.

URL slugs

A URL-friendly slug is generated automatically from the artist name (e.g. my-artist-name). You can override it manually if needed — just make sure it stays unique across your account.

Tips for great Artist descriptions

• These are generally written by your comedian / their management - but they are your way of describing the event.
• Use high-resolution images; the platform resizes them automatically.
• Fill in social links — they appear as icons on the artist’s public page.

Creating a Session

While you’re on the Artist edit page, you can add Sessions directly.

1. Click the + New Session button on the top-right of the page.
2. Select the Room
3. Leave the Status as Draft, or set accordingly
4. Set the Session Date and Session Time
5. Enter the Duration or accept the default
6. Select the Ticket Management for this Session. Internal to run tickets through Funny Little Shows, or External if tickets for this show are handled outside the system.
7. Click Save

Note

Sessions have their own status independent of an Artist. This allows an Artist page to be published, but individual Sessions to be unpublished because they are unannounced, or have happened in the past.

Copying a Session

To save time you can copy an existing session - simply hover over it and click the Copy icon button on the hover menu that appears on the right.

1. This causes the Create Session dialog to appear with the information pre-copied into it.
2. Change details - e.g. the Session Date and Session Time, and then click Save.

Uploading images for many artists

If you’re setting up a lot of artists, e.g. for a festival, you don’t need to upload each image by hand. Create your artists first, then use Artist Images to upload everyone’s profile and banner images in one batch. Funny Little Shows matches each image to the right artist.
