You could still carry and offer paid advertising slots in prime positions to help pay the costs.. So long as the position of the unpaid stuff was not then made utterly useless, it could still work just fine..... Perhaps. :lookarou:

CitySearch lists comedy stuff already if you search for "comedy".
http://sydney.citysearch.com.au/sear...e&query=comedy
Substitute the other city names for the Sydney bit (use the search thing repeatedly to get the other names) and voila!
You can also dig down from that, since that lists restaurants and movies and such, but it's quite possible to have CitySearch spit the results out for you, if that's all you're after.
This is a list of performances.

Perhaps someone in the know could say if that's anything like all the performances in Sydney? I get the feeling it's a decent generic listing, but some rooms and shows are listed over a period of 3 months, giving the feeling that they're perhaps just a block of shows all smudged together without details on who is doing what and when?

And how much does CitySearch charge for a listing, nowadays? I vaguely remember trying to get Cardsmyth listed, back in the day, and being disgusted at the hoops to jump through?
