The Quebec based company Amuz Distribution announced deals for two of its most popular comedy sketch programs. In the first instance, Ceska Televize acquired five seasons of "LOL ;) ComediHa!", including the upcoming season 12, which is set to begin production in Spring 2025, for broadcast in the Czech Republic. Additionally, Pro Plus in Slovenia acquired a selection of 100 episodes of "Just for Laughs Gags".
"Just for Laughs Gags" is a dialogue-free show which brings endless laughs as a quirky Quebec-based troupe transforms the city into their stage, using unsuspecting locals as participants—or victims! (Variety/sketch, S1-25: 375 x 30 min.; produced by Just For Laughs).
Meanwhile, "LOL ;) ComediHa!" it´s a scripted comedy series featuring non-verbal sketches where versatile characters navigate diverse scenarios, such as clumsy nuclear engineers, reckless ambulance drivers, and impatient chefs. The absurd situations lead to unpredictable payoffs. (Comedy, 154x30 min; produced by ComediHa!).
Alex Avon, Chief Revenue & Strategy Officer, highlighted the track record of the titles in question: “Amuz Distribution is pleased that two of our most popular comedy sketch programs are making their way into Eastern Europe. 'LOL ;) ComediHa!' and 'JFL Gags' have been broadcast in numerous territories, and these two deals significantly support our mission of Keeping the World Feeling Good, " stated.
Zoé Crabtree, Amuz Distribution’s Director of Acquisitions and Sales, who brokered the deal, thanked their partners: “We are thrilled that our partners Ceska Televize and Pro Plus have chosen these two hilarious programs. Their audiences are sure to enjoy countless hours of laughter!", added.
