Comedy Extra

Comedy Extra is one of many custom British free-to-air TV channels, run by Erran Mann.

Currently, it is operated under a 75%-25% joint-venture between Super Star Comedy Holdings and IME Entertainment Limited.

History
Comedy Extra originally launched as Super Star Comedy MAX in 2015, featuring an alternate line-up of programmes like Soaps. In June 2016, it was relaunched as Comedy Extra, becoming more of a rerun channel, with the Soaps later moving to World of Comedy Too when it launched in 2017. Since then, the channel has focused on gameshows, children's programming blocks, and occasional Film and Anime screenings.

In August 2021, IME Entertainment has purchased a stake in the station. Since then, the channel has reinvented to have a more major focus on the Family audience. Dispite this, the name will remain the same.

Programming
Comedy Extra is home to three children's programming blocks shown on weekends - SimpsonsClips24's Ghoulies, Bright Breakfast and Brian and Brianna's Bright Lunch. They both became huge successes which led to many awards and commercial merchandise.

Humble Action Team (the spin-off of Harry Humble's "Humble Toys Family") was Comedy Extra's first ever original series.
