Comedy Central

Comedy Central (formerly Paramount Comedy) is a cable and satellite channel which shows mainly American sitcoms imports and re-runs of classic British comedies like Mr Bean and Black Books, and stand-up shows like Live At The Apollo. It is now commissioning some of its own shows too though (e.g. Threesome), and in the 1990s was responsible for bringing some of today's 'big names' to television for the first time.
