Online Comedy Platform NextUp Joins Amazon Channels

NextUp, an online VOD platform focused on British stand-up comedy, is making its content available to Prime members via Amazon Channels.

NextUp will feature recorded live stand-up content showcasing top British comics, including Tony Law, Lou Sanders, Richard Herring, Alfie Brown and Simon Munnery. A $3.50-per month fee will make NextUp accessible to Amazon Prime members following a seven-day free trial. The comedy platform launched in November 2016.

Sarah Henley, co-founder of NextUp, said, “We’re delighted that just one year after our U.K. launch, we are now launching the channel in the U.S. on Amazon Channels. Comedy has always been one of Britain’s most successful exports and we think that the stateside comedy fans will love what NextUp has to offer.”
