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... Posted by Ernesto Soriano, YouTube Australia, recently watched “Cougars”
