This season of comedy shows starts on Channel 4 on 16th August.
There's certainly a lot of new shows on, a list of which can be seen here. There are other shows too - there's another Alan Carr's Summertime Specstacular, and the TV debut of Peter Kay's Tour That Didn't Tour - Tour and their online Comedy Blaps.
Also there are several late-night repeats. Shows mentioned so far include Green Wing, Brass Eye, The Comic Strip Presents and obscure Vic and Bob sitcom pilot The Weekenders.
Really??
That's great... I was waiting for it!
Thanks!
