Created by Musicians.
Built for the whole industry. Hot Giggity was founded by long-time mates Todd Byrnes and Ned Walker — two people with 50+ years of combined experience playing, booking and promoting live entertainment in Australia.
The Story
Hot Giggity was born from frustration. After decades on stage and behind the desk, Todd and Ned saw firsthand how inefficient gig booking and promotion had become — artists chasing payments, agents drowning in admin, venues manually posting every gig to social media. They built Hot Giggity to fix it.
Founded in 2016, Hot Giggity has grown into the platform trusted by 12,000+ gigs and $66M+ in facilitated bookings across Australia’s live entertainment industry.
