MUMBAI: Viacom18's comedy channel Comedy Central is looking to nurture talent of home grown comic artists through its new property 'Comedy Central Presents', which is a tie-up with select stand up artists and comedy groups to promote their shows on-air, and on the digital space (facebook.com/comedycentralindia).
'Comedy Central Presents' will promote everything that is comic and some of the most recent associations have been with comedy fests like the Clean Comedy festival with Dan Nainan, The Ultimate Hahathon at Counter Culture every Thursday, Evam – a popular stand up comedy group in Chennai. Other names promoted under the ‘Comedy Central Presents’ banner include Neeti Palta – Loony Goons (Delhi), Karan Thapar – Schitzengiggles (Mumbai), Raghav Mandava – CheeseMonkeyMafia (Gurgoan) and Adam Dow - Improv Comedy Mumbai.
To keep the viewers updated on the latest comedy gigs in town, Comedy Central will also have a special on-air spot called “Giggle Guide”, where viewers are informed about gigs happening across the country, the Facebook page would have regular updates informing fans about the date and venue of the performance.
‘CC Presents’ aims at getting bigger and better by each passing week by adding more associations to the current list of tie-ups across artists performing in Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore. The channels’ main aim is to take over the comedy scene in India and be present where ever good comedy is.
