We are not big on having a dedicated TV channels for comedy in the UK. It is weaved, woven throughout our lives with more invisible seams. With catgut.
It has a necessary role as the recycled canvas of your day. It might be nice to trade up (universal consciousness anyone?) but we simply don’t have a weapon like wit.
Fortunately Sky subscribers likely have access to the patented US gutrot that is The Comedy Channel.
The concept works well in America. Nice and straightforward. It is the Channel for Comedy.
Sorted.
But is this another definition of irony? Needing to know you are tuning into a comedy channel in order to have permission to laugh?
I must say it is confusing this irony thing isn’t it?

Y’all.
