Midwest · Est. 2009
We hope you’re happy underground.
Happy Underground supports the Midwest’s independent comedians, musicians, and spoken-word artists through live production, merchandise, and small-press physical media releases — with fair, transparent partnerships and an equitable profit share.
What we do
Live Events
Concerts, showcases, and weird live things — produced with care and pulled off without a hitch.
Physical Media & Distribution
Small-press vinyl, cassettes, zines, and digital distribution — your release in the formats your audience actually wants.
Merch Design & Sales
From design to fulfillment — merch that actually represents you and doesn’t sit in a box in your closet.
Artist Consulting
Career strategy, industry navigation, and honest advice from people who’ve been in the room.
Happy Underground will never earn more than the artists we represent.
