Nonstop Laughter With Amazon IVS

Too Long; Didn't Read

Serious about comedy since its formation in 2015, RushTix transformed its in-person show ticketing hub into a robust virtual comedy streaming platform used by the likes of Patton Oswalt, Sarah Silverman, Jeff Dunham, John Cleese, and more as the pandemic shuttered comedy venues worldwide. Initially a lifeline for comedians to continue bringing laughter to audiences during global lockdowns, the platform has proven more than a temporary pivot, providing a frictionless means for comedians to reach new audiences and broaden monetization opportunities. To deliver a positive, high-quality experience for both the audience and performer, RushTix uses Amazon Interactive Video Service (Amazon IVS) to power its live streams. “We’ve stress tested nearly a dozen live streaming solutions, including spinning up our own, and Amazon IVS was the only one that provided the perfect balance of ultra-low latency and stability, which is very hard to achieve. It’s a spectacular system that’s elegantly built,” said RushTix CEO Jill Paiz-Bourque.
