VIACOM International Media Networks (VIMN) is pleased to announce a month of brand new summer stand-up featuring specials, sketch comedies and late night stand-up programing on Comedy Central HD, the world's number one comedy network (OSN Channel No. 207) this August.
Starting 8 August, every Tuesday night is ladies night! Start your Tuesday night with a double bill of the proactive and hilariously wicked-minded Amy Schumer as she explores a variety of topics through sketches, stand-up and woman-on-the-street interviews. Catch Season Three of Inside Amy Schumer at 21:30 KSA / 22:30 UAE followed by the wacky New York chicks in Broad City at 22:25 KSA / 23:30 UAE. Finish off the night with the long suffering Billie and her troublesome employee and friend, Gene, in Season One of Idiotsitter at 23:15 KSA / 00:15 UAE. Catch the pilot episode to see Billie interview for a nanny job, only to find out that her charge is a grown woman on house arrest.
The wacky and unique office comedy, Workaholics, is back for a 5th season, this time Blake Anderson, Adam DeVine and Anders Holm are tasked with finding new recruits at a college campus, something that proves to be almost impossible and leads to new crazy adventures. Don't miss Season Five of the sitcom on Saturdays at 21:30 KSA / 22:30 UAE, starting August 12th.
Continuing through August, enjoy Double Bill every Friday and Saturday for even more summer standup. Live at the Apollo delivers premium comedy, recorded at the legendary Hammersmith Apollo in London, featuring live performances by seasoned comedians include Greg Davis, Gina Yashere and Josh Widdicombe at 22:00 KSA / 23:00 UAE. Immediately following, Show Me The Funny, and UAE Stand Up Specials, feature a group of comedians competing each week to win a spot in the finale at Hammersmith Apollo at 22:30 KSA / 23:30 UAE.
Season Two of The Alternative Comedy Experience airs on Mondays at 22:25 KSA / 22:30 UAE from July 31st. These are the stand-ups that other comedians either slouch at the back of the room in defeat or cry with laughter at. Hand-picked by Stewart Lee, we can all now taste the biting comedy previously only available to adepts and initiates, in a line-up including Simon Munnery, Isy Suttie, Boothby Graffoe and Phil Nichol.
He's back! From 9 August on Wednesdays at 22:00 KSA / 23:00 UAE, Daniel Tosh is back scouring the net to mock blogs, videos and anything else found in cyberspace. Season Six of TOSH.0 sees Daniel pay tribute to Brad Pitt through his wardrobe choices and come face to face with a real life bear, among other things, as he pushes the boundaries of good taste as always.
Tune into The Daily Show with Trevor Noah every Saturday to Tuesday at 21:00 KSA / 22:00 UAE. This Emmy and Peabody Award-winning programme offers a candid take on the top headlines of the day in politics, pop culture and more through a sharp, reality-based lens. Day and date with US transmission, Trevor Noah dissects the news and hosts some of the biggest names in entertainment, politics and more.
Finally, don't miss The President Show on Fridays at 21:30 KSA / 22:30 UAE. The President Show has all the parts of a traditional late-night talk show; desk segments, field pieces and guest interviews. The losers dominating late-night are in for a rude awakening when the smartest, handsomest, most ‘winning-est' president of all times gets on his own show and addresses the nation!
Comedy Central HD airs on OSN Channel 207.
