Exciting news everyone! Your favourite comedy channel (us) is launching its very own DVD label!
Later this year the Comedy Central DVD label will be bringing you the best new live comedy shows from two of the best stand-up comedians on the circuit.
First up is the BAFTA nominated Stewart Lee (pictured) whose live show If You Prefer A Milder Comedian Please Ask For One was recorded earlier this year is scheduled for release in October.
On Monday 26th July, controversial Aussie Jim Jefferies (I Swear to God, Grouchy Young Men) will record Alcoholocaust at the Lyric Theatre which is due for release in November.
Run by our Director of Content Sarah Farrell and Real Talent’s Colin Dench, we hope to sign three more comedians next year.
