Rentals

Rental policy

Last updated October 21, 2026. Applies to room rentals and the podcast studio.

Payment & booking fee

Your date is confirmed once we receive payment. Every booking includes a $25 non-refundable booking fee. It's part of what you pay, not added on top, and covers holding your date.

Bookings of 4 hours or less: pay in full to confirm.
Bookings over 4 hours or across multiple days: pay a 50% deposit to confirm. The balance is due 7 days before your booking.

Rates are listed on the rental and studio pages.

If you cancel

How much you get back depends on how much notice you give. Cancel by emailing [email protected]. Notice counts from when we receive it.

Bookings of 4 hours or less

Notice	Refund
7+ days	Full refund minus the $25 booking fee
2–6 days	50% refund, or a full credit to reschedule
Under 48 hours or no-show	No refund

Bookings over 4 hours or across multiple days

Notice	Refund
14+ days	Full refund minus the $25 booking fee
7–13 days	50% of the total
Under 7 days or no-show	No refund

Rescheduling. With 48+ hours' notice, you can move your booking once at no charge to any open date within 60 days. A rescheduled booking can't be refunded later.

Ending early. Wrapping up before your booked time doesn't reduce the charge.

Recurring bookings

Weekly or monthly renters (classes, regular shows) can end the arrangement with 30 days' notice. To skip a single session, tell us 7+ days ahead and it moves to a credit. With less notice, that session is billed as usual.

If we cancel

If we have to cancel your booking, you get a full refund, including the booking fee, or your choice of a new date.

If we can't open because of something outside our control, such as a power outage, emergency, or government order, we refund your rental in full. We aren't responsible for other costs you incur.

House rules

Setup and teardown count as booked time. Please arrive and leave within your window.
Overtime is billed at your hourly rate in 30-minute increments.
Cleaning. Leave the room the way you found it. If it needs extra cleanup (trash, spills, or BYOB empties), there's a $50 cleaning fee.
Damage to the room or equipment is the renter's responsibility.

Shoots & private events

Film and photo shoots, private events, and parties require a $150 refundable security deposit, paid separately from your rental.

We walk through the room together at the end of your booking and return the deposit within a few days. We only deduct for documented damage or extra cleanup, and the cleaning fee comes out of the deposit rather than being charged on top.

Shoots with 10+ crew also need a certificate of insurance naming Badger Comedy as additional insured. Your production's insurance broker can send one. Please get it to us before your booking.

Agreement

By booking, you agree to this policy. Questions? Email [email protected] before you book and we'll sort it out.
