Technically, Just For Laughs has already gone international with having festivals throughout Canada, the United States, and Mexico. That said, they have yet to expand outside of North America as one of the biggest live comedy brands in the world, but that’s all about to change in a few months with the arrival of JFL London.

The very first Just For Laughs London will take over London’s signature venue, The O2 Arena for four days from Thurs. Mar. 2nd-Sun. Mar. 5th. To make a splash on that side of the pond, JFL has already amassed a bunch of big names, many of them big to us Yanks, for their inaugural London festival.

So far, they’ve got:

Birdgirl, the new spin-off to Harvey Birdman, officially kicked off as Adult Swim’s latest series and it arrived as a spunky and very welcome addition to the list of things to keep an eye while still in lockdown.

Whether you’re a fan/acquainted with Harvey Birdman or not, Birdgirl leading the charge to save the world, but also doubling as the CEO of Sebben & Sebben is a splendid, over-the-top, yet subversive and timely adult animated action/adventure series. Paget Brewster‘s Birdgirl is undeniably charming as is the supporting cast of Rob Delaney, Kether Donohue, John Doman, Negin Farsad, Tony Hale, and Lorelei Ramirez. There’s also just a lovely tinge of heart to the show, at least from this pilot that you can stream on YouTube at your convenience, that is part of doing a 2021 spin-off of the entertainingly absurd Harvey Birdman.

Go see it all for yourself in Birdgirl’s pilot here, then look for new episodes to air on Adult Swim on Sundays at midnight.

The critically acclaimed intercontinental dark romantic comedy, Catastrophe, is back for a third go and we can only hope that you’re as excited as we are to see how Rob Delaney and Sharon Horgan make a mess of things this time. 

So, if you don’t have Amazon Prime already, three seasons of Catastrophe (plus Transparent and Fleabag amongst other things) would be a pretty good reason to sign on.

Intercontinental romantic comedy has never been fully realized, warts and all, quite like Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney’s Catastrophe, which is why it’s a critically acclaimed series on both sides of the pond for over two seasons.

The third season, having had its run in the UK, is now set to start streaming here in the U.S. on Amazon Prime on Friday, April 28th.

Get a lovely preview with this U.S. trailer here.

The 3rd season of Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney’s wondrous, brutally honest romantic comedy Catastrophe is about to premiere in the UK on Channel 4.

Catastrophe Renewed for Seasons 3 and 4 at UK’s Channel 4

There hasn’t be an official pick-up from Amazon where the series resides in the U.S., but we’d have a hard time imagining that wouldn’t happen for Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney’s critically acclaimed intercontinental hit.

Lifetime TV to Air Catastrophe and Develop Dramedy from Wilfred’s Jason Gann

(via Deadline)

Lifetime, along with half of cable TV, continuing its foray int comedy.

Having dipped its toe into the comedic waters with Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever and the Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell faux-Lifetime style drama A Deadly Adoption, Lifetime is now bringing in more programming that’s atypical from what their brand has been for years. 

First off, they’ll be the first network to air Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney’s Catastrophe on linear U.S. television (Catastrophe is currently only available in the States on Amazon). That will happen sometime early next year.

Secondly, Wilfred co-creator and star Jason Gann is developing a new dramedy currently called Breeders that explores the high school nature of becoming a suburban mom. 

Both developments seem to, as far as we can tell right now, bode well for Lifetime.

Black-ish
Catastrophe

You’ve got a lot of comedy to stream for April.

In its first season, Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney’s Catastrophe received heaps of great press for being part of this new wave of grounded, sharp romantic comedy on television.

The second season has already had a run on the air in the UK and is, as of today, finally available stateside via Amazon.

We’re guessing that you probably have to get through binge watching a bunch of stuff right now in addition to this.

Luckily, the new season isn’t that far away as episodes will start streaming on Friday, April 8th on Amazon.

For now, you can watch this trailer cut for us Yanks.

Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney’s Catastrophe premieres stateside on Amazon starting this Friday Jun. 19th, but you can get a taste a little earlier than that in just a few hours from this post.

In about two hours, Amazon is making the first episode of Catastrophe available to watch on Facebook. You’ll be able to watch for 48 hours after that in case you want to watch it over again or can’t watch it right at 4pm today.

You’re probably on Facebook reading various people’s long posts about whatever they’re outraged today, so you can take a quick break and watch Catastrophe without leaving FB.

(via Variety)

It’s about time that we got to see this Stateside. 

Amazon has secured the rights to stream the very first season of Channel 4 series Catastrophe from created by and starring United States’ Rob Delaney and UK’s Sharon Horgan. 

Considering how much of a following he has on Twitter, 1.1 million, largely built up here in the U.S., it’s a curiosity what was taking so long for Catastrophe to find a home here for American viewers.

Either way, Amazon Prime subscribers will get to enjoy the series following an unplanned pregnancy of Horgan by Delaney starting Fri. Jun. 19th.

UK Comedy Series With U.S. Stars “Catastrophe” and “Cuckoo” Set to Come Stateside

amazon, catastrophe, cuckoo, nbc, rob delaney, sharon horgan

(via The Hollywood Reporter)

There seems to be more cross-pollination between U.S. and U.K. comedy series as of late. Of course, The Office was famously adapted from Ricky Gervais’ version to the version starring Steve Carell that went for 9 seasons. Nowadays, James Corden and Showtime’s Episodes further connect the comedy bridge across the pond.

So, naturally, it would make sense that successful UK series Cuckoo that starred Andy Samberg and Catastrophe starring American comedian/author/Twitter king Rob Delaney and UK’s Sharon Horgan would find it’s way here.

NBC has ordered a pilot for an American remake of Cuckoo and Amazon has gotten rights to stream Catastrophe in the spring for people in the U.S.

Since last year, Rob Delaney has tucked himself away with Sharon Horgan over in the UK for their Channel 4 series Catastrophe.

Details as to when it was going to come out in the UK, much less when/if we get to see it here in The States, have been largely a secret.

Such details are still sort of under wraps, but there’s now a teaser trailer to outline Delaney’s knocking up of Horgan as an American staying in the UK  and the glorious aftermath that follows.

Watch the teaser trailer here.

Though you might have seen Rob Delaney on “@midnight” on TVs here in America, Delaney is overseas with a sitcom that he’s been working on with Sharon Horgan called Catastrophe.

Picked up for a season at Channel 4, it follows Delaney and Horgan as a couple that decides to give the family thing a go when Horgan becomes pregnant.

Here’s Rob Delaney himself giving more detail to the show. Hopefully, it’ll make it across the pond in one form or another so us Yanks can watch it.
