As well as exclusively airing the biggest US comedies South Park, Two and a Half Men and The Sarah Silverman Program we show top name stand-up from Lee Evans, Jack Dee and Chris Rock and brand new talent in The Comedy Store.

It’s not just about telly

Each year we stage 250 live stand-up gigs including sell out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe, our nationwide student Comedy Tour as well as Paramount Comedy Festival in Brighton. These shows bring top stand-up to 60,000 comedy fans all over the UK.

New Talent

Paramount Comedy has consistently nurtured and supported some of Britain’s biggest comedy names including: Matt Lucas and David Walliams, Simon Pegg, Sasha Baron Cohen, Leigh Francis, Dan Clark, We Are Klang, Jim Jeffries and Russell Kane. This year we are supporting the Comedy Smalls film initiative as well as producing more series of our Short Cuts with rising talent.

All that and we still find time to sponsor the Broadcast Comedy forum!
