The Gig - Stand-up Club & Night Bar WordPress Theme 1.11

The Gig is a vibrant, modern WordPress theme specifically designed for Stand-up Clubs, Comedy Bars, Nightclubs, and Live Music Venues. Developed by ThemeREX, it focuses on the "Nightlife" industry, combining a dark, moody aesthetic with practical tools for event scheduling and ticket promotion.

Core Nightlife Features

Event Calendar Integration: Built to work seamlessly with The Events Calendar plugin, allowing you to showcase upcoming comedy sets, open mic nights, and special performances.

Ticket Sales: Compatible with WooCommerce, enabling you to sell tickets for specific shows or VIP table reservations directly on your site.

Artist/Comedian Profiles: Dedicated templates to showcase the performers, including their bios, social media links, and videos of past performances (YouTube/Vimeo integration).

Booking & Reservations: Includes custom-styled forms for table bookings or general inquiries, crucial for managing club capacity.

Instagram Feed Integration: A built-in widget to display live photos from your venue, helping build social proof and "FOMO" (Fear Of Missing Out).

Why "The Gig" is Unique

Unlike "OpenHub" (which is for professional conferences) or "Unica" (for weddings), The Gig is optimized for low-light legibility.

High Contrast: Uses high-contrast typography and neon colors that look excellent on smartphone screens in a dark club environment.

Audio/Video Support: Includes custom widgets for SoundCloud and Spotify playlists, allowing you to feature a comedian's podcast or a DJ's latest set.

Advanced Gallery Options: Features grid and masonry styles that are perfect for "Party Photos" and venue interior shots.

Best Use Cases

Comedy Clubs: To manage weekly lineups and ticket sales for headliners.

Jazz & Blues Bars: Where the atmosphere and the "Next Set" time are the primary focus.

Nightclubs: Using the video background features to showcase the energy of the dance floor.

Management Tip: For Stand-up clubs, utilize the "Custom Post Types" for Comedians. This allows you to create a "Wall of Fame" or a "Tonight's Lineup" section that updates automatically across the site whenever you add a new performer.
