San Francisco, CA — RooftopComedy (www.RooftopComedy.com), the Internet Comedy Channel and foremost interactive media provider of stand-up and sketch comedy for web, mobile and broadcast outlets, announced today that it is partnering with legendary New York City comedy club, Comic Strip Live, to record and distribute nightly comedy performances.

RooftopComedy adds Comic Strip Live to a rapidly growing roster of 20 partner comedy clubs in the US, Canada, Europe and Australia, from which live performances are recorded every night with the best being published on RooftopComedy.com and syndicated to one or more partner media outlet such as Nokia, Motorola, iTunes, Sprint, Current TV, YouTube, Yahoo! News, Hulu, DailyMotion, Buzzwire, Lexy, mSpot, MobileStreams, and Australian mobile carrier, Optus.

"We are thrilled to be working with one of the most renowned comedy clubs in the country to bring the funniest acts directly from its New York stage into the lives of comedy fans everywhere," said Will C. Rogers, Founder and CEO of RooftopComedy.

"If you want to see the best stand up comedians in the country, you can visit Comic Strip Live in New York City or simply log onto RooftopComedy.com or one of the dozen of web, mobile or broadcast media outlet that will carry all the performances happening on our stage," said John McGowan, co-owner Comic Strip Live. "By attending an actual show at the world famous Comic Strip Live, you'll get to experience the club where Seinfeld, Carlin, Rock, Romano, Sandler, Lampanelli and just about every other famous comedian began, while enjoying the amazing collective energy from our audiences. But the one thing we simply can't give you that only RooftopComedy and their network can - the ability to watch our great comedians while lying on your couch in your underwear."
