LOS ANGELES – Comedian Kevin Hart’s Laugh Out Loud comedy brand is launching a new video streaming platform next month, but it won’t be available in Canada any time soon.
Lionsgate said this week that the streaming platform will debut August 3 with a slate of original scripted and unscripted comedy series, stand-up specials, licensed programming, and live broadcasts. The streaming video service is a key driver of the multi-platform Laugh Out Loud network, which produces custom content delivered daily across LOL's app, website and social media platforms, according to the news release.
The Laugh Out Loud app will be available for free on iOS and Android on the August 3rd launch date, though users will also have the option to upgrade for $2.99 per month for an ad-free viewing experience and access to binge watch all episodes of current seasons.
When contacted by Cartt.ca, a Laugh Out Loud spokesperson confirmed that the online portal will be only available in the United States at launch.
"Funny has no color or gender. With our friends at Lionsgate, we are creating a global network that gives a platform to the next generation of diverse comedians from all over the world, of all ethnicities, to tell their stories," said Kevin Hart (pictured), in the release. "Our culture of comedy is unfiltered and inclusive. Most importantly, we exist to make the world laugh."
