SAN FRANCISCO, CA — RooftopComedy, the Internet comedy channel and foremost provider of stand-up and sketch comedy, today announced a new partnership with Rick Bronson's The Comic Strip — the leading comedy club in Edmonton, AB in Canada.
"Canada has a rich tradition of great comedy, with world-renowned Festivals and some of today's most successful working comics. Bringing top talent to their stage and insider knowledge of the comedy world, Rick Bronson's The Comic Strip couldn't be a more ideal partner comedy club for us," said Annie O'Rourke of RooftopComedy. "Their management, staff, and local talent, have been amazing so far, and we're really looking forward to a great future working together."
According to owner of The Comic Strip and comic Rick Bronson: "Any company whose employees can put up with a UPS shipment that just wouldn't show up (which included the bulk of the gear required for installation), and do it while smiling and sharing their unbridled passion for stand up, is a company I want to be in bed with. Myself, my staff and all of our local performers were genuinely impressed with the knowledge and love for Stand Up that Rooftop shared. We look forward to a long relationship... and to think I thought you could never meet anyone on the Internet."
RooftopComedy records, produces and distributes live comedy performances from the best comedy venues every night of the week, 365 days a year, publishing the best comedy clips to RooftopComedy.com and the RooftopComedy network.
With broadcast partners throughout North America and an expanding series of partnerships in Europe, Asia, and Australia, RooftopComedy is quickly establishing itself as the leading distributor of interactive comedy videos. RooftopComedy is currently working with more than 3000 professional comedians and maintains a video library of tens of thousands of hours of stand-up comedy, sketch comedy, improvisational comedy, and comedic short films.
