All you need to know about the new Sky Comedy channel

What is Sky Comedy?

Sky Comedy is a brand new addition to Sky that was launched on the 27th January 2020, bringing the best of US comedy to viewers in the UK, from the likes of HBO, HBC and Showtime. It’s a great way to make shows available to people who would otherwise be unable to watch them on the streaming services available to them.

How do I get Sky Comedy?

Sky Comedy is simply another channel, nothing more, and will be available instantly for anyone who currently owns a Sky TV package. It’s just another place for Sky to show all the best comedy shows, the funniest movies, live comedy stand-up shows and US chat shows; but we’ll get into detail about exactly what’s on Sky Comedy further on.

How much is Sky Comedy?

Sky Comedy won’t set you back anything, it’s just an added extra Sky have kindly added to put the funniest content you love all in one place! If you already own Sky you’ll have access to both the live channel and the catchup service, so there’ll be no extra cost.

What’s on Sky Comedy?

As mentioned previously, Sky’s funniest series, movies and talk shows, brought to us by HBO, HBC and Showtime, will all be available on Sky’s new channel, Sky Comedy. See the list below for the sort of shows you can expect:

Modern Family
The Righteous Gemstones
Park & Recreations
Saturday Night Live
The Tonight Show
Last Week Tonight
The Late Late Show

Among these popular titles will be shows such as Girls, Entourage, The Mindy Project and Sex and the City. As well as being able to watch these shows in real-time, they’ll all be made available on Sky Box Sets for you to watch at your leisure.

How else can I watch Sky Comedy?

Now TV is a brilliant way for any television-lover to watch the series and films they want without being tied to a Sky contract. Instead, you can choose one of several passes with Now TV which will grant you access to various Sky content.

In order to watch Sky Comedy on Now TV you will need to purchase the Entertainment Pass, which will set you back £8.99 a month. Now TV offers a seven-day free trial, so if you end up signing up and finding it’s not for you, you can terminate your subscription before you’re charged any money. With Now TV you’ll be able to watch Sky Comedy, along with other Sky Entertainment channels, either live or on catch-up.
