About The Theater
The Theater is the sketch comedy channel connected to the SMBC webcomic, created by James Ashby and Zach Weiner. It posts short, dry scripted sketches, often under three minutes, covering dating, religion, pop culture and absurd office life. Recent uploads are infrequent, with none in the past 90 days.
The channel has about 70,100 subscribers and 27 million lifetime views. Median views on recent videos are about 2,100, and the audience is estimated to be largely adult English speakers in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada, with the caveat that these figures are modeled rather than measured. Engagement sits around 5%, which is above average for a channel of this size.
Brands seeking a witty, adult-leaning integration can expect a rate of roughly $150 to $250 per video for a sketch-length spot, based on the rule of $20 to $35 per 1,000 median views. That is an effective CPM of $20 to $35, which is higher than the $10 to $30 typical for paid ads, so the value depends on audience fit rather than raw reach.
