Our story

Built backstage.
For backstage.

ShowLab is building the show technology we always wished existed. Beautifully designed, genuinely reliable and actually affordable.

Theatre auditorium

Where it began

It started in the wings of a theatre.

Years of playing in shows, programming click tracks and chasing down faulty gear made one thing clear: the kit on the market was either priced for venues with much bigger budgets, or so awkwardly designed it became a show risk in itself.

ShowLab is building the better version. Properly. One product at a time. Each product begins in a real production, gets used in real performances, and only ships once it has held up, show after show.

Designed to deliver

Why choose ShowLab?

We only allow our products to end up in your hands once we've proved them on our own shows. So you can be sure that everything will work just as it should.

Proven night after night

From schools to professional theatres, our products are used in real shows around the world.

Priced for the people who run shows

From the smallest budgets to the biggest, our products are priced for the productions actually using them.

One reliable ecosystem

With hardware, software and resources, our products offer a complete solution from rehearsal to performance.

From the founder

A quick note.

I started ShowLab because I was tired of fighting the tools that were meant to be helping me. When the curtain goes up, the kit you rely on should be the last thing on your mind, not the first.

I want ShowLab to be the company I wish had existed when I started out. One that listens. One that ships things you can rely on. One that prices its tools fairly so the smaller productions - the ones that often need the most support - can actually use them.

If you spot something we could be doing better, please tell us.
