With content previously made for YouTube

Channel 4 is launching a Spotify comedy channel this week.

A Comedy Thing by Channel 4, which first launched on YouTube last summer, features comedians including Vittorio Angelone, Mike Rice, Finlay Christie, Olga Koch, Mickey Overman, Dan Tiernan and Gbemi Oladipo.

The cast made four entertainment series for the channel: The Split, to divide public participants into one of two groups; The Front Row, determining who audience members were from crowd work; Joke Swap  in which the comics wrote  jokes for ordinary punters to deliver; and The Lying Game, essentially a version of Would I Lie To You?

The latter will be the first to launch on Spotify. 

Grace Boswood, technology and distribution director at Channel 4, said: 'We're excited to bring Channel 4's premium comedy content to our audiences where they are, on the digital platforms they love. We are thrilled to introduce Spotify audiences to the next wave of British comedians to share, watch and laugh along with anywhere.’
