Leading Syndicator of Comedy Content Provides Original Video Programming to Hulu
SAN FRANCISCO, CA — RooftopComedy (www.RooftopComedy.com), the Internet Comedy Channel and foremost interactive media provider of stand-up and sketch comedy for mobile, web and broadcast outlets, today launches 6 new comedy channels on Hulu, an online video service that offers hit TV shows, movies and clips.
The result of a syndication deal between the two companies to provide original video programming to Hulu, RooftopComedy adds the company to its impressive list of syndication partners that include Nokia, iTunes, Sprint, YouTube, Motorola UK, DailyMotion, Buzzwire, Lexy, mSpot, and MobileStreams, along with many others. The 6 RooftopComedy channels found on Hulu include "Election Humor," "Hooking Up," "News Pop Comedy," "Bathroom Humor," "Standup Women" and "WTF?," a collection of stand-up clips dealing with strange, bizarre or just very funny situations.
Hulu has one of the largest selections of the world's premium video content from more than 90 content partners which include broadcast networks, cable networks, movie studios and web-centric content providers. The comedy content on the 6 RooftopComedy channel originates from the network of clubs throughout the US, Europe and Asia with whom RooftopComedy partners. RooftopComedy records all live performances 365 nights a year, publishing the best on the website and syndicating select, topical content to each of RooftopComedy's media partners.
"We are thrilled to partner with Hulu, as the quality of their service is a fantastic showcase for our content and their reach a tremendous distribution channel," said Will C. Rogers, Founder and CEO of RooftopComedy. "Deals like this one with Hulu allow us to take the performance out of the comedy club and deliver it directly to the fans no matter where they are. Hulu's comedy fans are introduced to new comics and receive constantly updated new material, while comics expand their fan base exponentially, and comedy clubs extend their brands. It is a winning arrangement for everyone."
