COMEDY CENTRAL UK COMMISSIONS NEW SERIES 'IAIN STIRLING’S ROAST THE INTERNET'                              

Comedy Central UK has announced a brand-new commission hosted by top comedian and presenter Iain Stirling - Iain Stirling’s Roast the Internet. This new series will be produced in-house by MTV Entertainment Studios. 

Iain Stirling’s Roast the Internet is a studio comedy entertainment show all about the very worst things on the internet (that we're legally able to talk about on broadcast television). Every episode, Iain will roast social clips, posts and trends, with three famous faces – comedians, online celebrities and TV personalities - joining him each week to tackle their own online bugbears. And alongside all the roasting, Iain and his guests will also be offering up some ingenious and hilarious solutions to the dumpster fire that is the online world.    

With outrageous clips, funny chat and top comedy performances, Iain and his guests will be taking the internet down a peg or two, while all also secretly hoping their best bits will go viral.    

Host Iain Stirling said, “I’m so excited to be involved in this project which allows me to collaborate with some of my favourite people in TV (and the internet) and lets me doom-scroll TikTok while calling it work!”  

Luke Hales, SVP Content & Brand Strategy, MTV Entertainment Studios UK, Australia & Canada, added "The internet is a chaotic, ridiculous place, and who better to make sense of it all for us than Iain Stirling? With his unique comedy voice at the heart of the show and a brilliant lineup of guests, this series is packed with laughs – a real treat for our audiences on Comedy Central UK."     

Iain Stirling’s Roast the Internet (8 X 60’) is an MTV Entertainment Studios production, commissioned for Comedy Central UK by Luke Hales and Iestyn Barker (VP Original Series & Development, MTV Entertainment Studios). The Executive Producers for MTV Entertainment Studios are Iestyn Barker and Luke Shiach.   

The series will be filmed in the spring and is due to air later this year on Comedy Central UK.
