Hulu is getting a stand-up comedy boost as its streaming options soon will boast the archived collection from New Wave Entertainment‘s stand-up special catalogue.
The Comedy Dynamics channel will debut July 29 on Hulu, with specials both on the free service as well as the paid Hulu Plus subscription package.
“As the largest producer of high end stand-up comedy in the U.S., we wanted to seek out a partner that had the reach and respect we feel our artists deserve. Hulu was the obvious choice,” said Brian Volk-Weiss, Comedy Dynamics President.
As opposed to subscription-only Netflix or Comedy Central’s app, for two examples.

- Dennis Miller
