CAUTION: Hilarity may ensue. YouTube Comedy Week hits Oz.
Monday, May 20, 2013
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Fitzy & Wippa, and a cat called Lil Bub all walk into a bar. Know what happens next?
OK, neither do we... luckily, we’ve enlisted more than 150 of the biggest names in comedy to join us for the first-ever
YouTube Comedy Week
. From May 20-25, YouTube will bring comedy creators and fans together for a series of live shows, new episodes from popular channels and curated lists from a range of comedy stars all across the world.
On Monday, 20 May, at 10AM AEST, we’ll kick things off with
“The Big Live Comedy Show”
, a global live stream where featured comedians will do a mix of stand-up, sketches and musical performances. During the live event, and throughout the rest of Comedy Week, you’ll see videos from some of the funniest YouTubers around the world.
In Australia, Fitzy & Wippa (AKA ‘the princes of parody’) will present video premieres from their
brand new YouTube channel
all week long, and produce an hour-long live morning comedy show straight from the studio to YouTube on Friday 24 May from 8am - 9am AEST.
To get you chuckling, here are a few LOL’s from some of our other favourite Aussie YouTubers:
Natalie Tran (
Community Channel
) is the most subscribed comedy partner in Australia, and
definitely does not like hotel minibars
.
Meanwhile, it’s
winks and handshakes
all around for the young
Troye Sivan
, exploring the depths of YouTube in real life (aka, YouTube in a Florida hotel)
And back at home, two Internet Idiots & Their Jokes (
Stuntbear
) embark on a quest for
toby-one-adobe
. May the force be with yiieewww!
Check out the
YouTube Comedy Week channel
to watch tons of stuff that will make you laugh. This better be funny...
