Made only for stand-up

Most AI clippers were built for podcasts and talking heads. They hunt for loud moments and keywords. Stand-up runs on laughs, timing and the room, and that is all LaughLion was built for.

It hears the laughs

Real laugh detection ranks your bits by how hard the room laughed, and lets big laughs breathe.

It knows joke structure

Setup, punchline, tags. Clips start where the bit starts and end on the last laugh.

It respects your timing

Dead air goes. The pause before the punchline stays.

It gets crowd work

Hears the audience answer back, turns their voice up and captions their lines in their own colour.

Crowd work clipper

Only post crowd work?
We built a mode for that.

Switch the filter to crowd work and LaughLion pulls every exchange with the audience out of your set, then edits it so viewers can follow the conversation.

  • Finds the exchanges. Hears when someone in the crowd answers back, plus the question that started it.
  • Makes them audible. Turns the audience member's voice up so the answer isn't lost.
  • Captions both sides. Their lines in their own colour, yours in yours.
  • Keeps the beat. The pause before your comeback stays in.
  • Cuts to the crowd. With an audience camera, it cuts to them when they talk and to their reaction on the laugh.
  • Hook title on top. One line that tells scrollers what they're about to see.

Tweak and post

Pick a style, fix a caption, trim a line by deleting it from the transcript, then download and post anywhere.

Edits like a comedy editor

Every tool here exists because of how stand-up works.

Clip finder

Upload a full set and get your top bits back as finished clips, with a breakdown of every bit and its laughs.

Laughs that land

Big laughs breathe, dead air goes. Laugh boost fills out a thin crowd using your own room's laughs.

Smart camera

Turns one wide shot into a vertical clip that follows you across the stage and punches in on punchlines.

Act-out and reaction zooms

Goes wide when you act it out, tight on your face for the big reaction.

Crowd work detector

Filter for crowd work only, and caption the audience's lines in their own colour.

Auto captions

Styled captions that pop on the punchline. Swears bleeped in the text, with an off switch.

Multi-camera

Up to 3 angles synced automatically, cutting between you and the crowd like an editor would. (Shooting with more cameras? Additional camera angles are available as an add-on.)

Soundboard sync

Upload the board recording and we line it up: clean voice from the board, real laughs from the room.

AI HD

Sharpens dark phone footage, cleans up grain, fixes purple stage glow and clears up your voice.

Brand kit and end cards

Your handle, logo and colours on every clip, with an end card that can list your upcoming shows.

Edit by text

Delete a line from the transcript to cut it. Tap a caption to fix a word. Change any shot with a tap.

Every format

Reels and TikTok (9:16), Instagram feed (4:5), square or widescreen, all from one upload.

Questions

When can I use it?

Beta sign-up is open now. Create your free account above and we'll email your invite as soon as uploads open. Beta testers use LaughLion free. Paid plans open at launch.

What footage works?

Anything from a phone at the back of the room to a 4K multi-camera shoot, horizontal or vertical. Send the original file, not one saved from Instagram, for the sharpest clips.

How long do you keep my videos?

48 hours after your clips are ready, then your footage and clips are deleted. We remind you before anything expires. Transcripts and bit breakdowns stay in your account.

What counts as a clip?

One download. Editing, previewing and re-downloading the same version are free. Unused clips don't roll over.

How do footage hours work?

Each plan includes hours of footage per month: Starter 4, Pro 10, Artist 25, Superstar 40. Hours count the length of your set, not your number of cameras, so a one-hour set shot on three cameras uses one hour. Each upload can be up to 2 hours. Unused hours don't roll over.

I have years of old sets. Can I upload them all?

Yes, a bit at a time. Upload what you want to clip this month, since footage is deleted 48 hours after your clips are ready. Want to clear more at once? Add a Backlog pack for +10 hours, one time, no subscription change.

I edit clips for several comics. Can I use one account?

Each plan is for one comic, so their brand kit, styles and word list stay their own. Editors, clubs and production teams can get one account with a profile for each comic. Talk to us.

How will I know when my clips are ready?

We email you as soon as they're ready, with a link to see them on LaughLion. If you haven't downloaded them yet, we send one reminder before they expire.

What if the captions get a word wrong?

Tap it and fix it. Add names and words you use often to your word list so we get them right next time.

Is there an app?

LaughLion runs in your phone's browser and can be added to your home screen like an app.
