Every comedian has lost a great joke. Big Joke was built to stop that from happening. Big Joke is a creative workspace designed specifically for stand-up comedians. It helps you capture ideas the moment they appear, develop them into polished bits, organize them into sets, rehearse your material, and learn from every performance. Capture joke premises by typing, speaking, or using Siri. Build bits from setups, punchlines, tags, callbacks, and stage directions. Organize your material into complete sets, practice with teleprompter and timing tools, and track how your material evolves over time. Big Joke uses thoughtful automation and purpose-built tools to reduce friction without replacing your creative voice. The goal isn't to write comedy for you—it's to help you preserve ideas, stay organized, and spend more time creating and performing. Your material stays private and under your control. Big Joke works offline and keeps your comedy library available whenever inspiration strikes. Whether you're preparing for your first open mic or your next hour-long special, Big Joke provides a workflow built around how comedians actually create—not how generic note apps store text. Because the next big joke deserves more than a sticky note.
