Tricon to Rep IFC Original Programming

TORONTO/NEW YORK: Tricon Films & Television has taken on the exclusive worldwide distribution rights for IFC’s slate of original scripted comedies.

The first two IFC series that Tricon is bringing to the market are Comedy Bang! Bang! and Bunk. Comedy Bang! Bang! is hosted by Scott Aukerman and his musical cohort Reggie Watts. Bunk is a comedy/game show hybrid, in which three comedians compete in bizarre challenges.

“IFC has been attracting an incredible line up of marquee talent to their brand, and we look forward to partnering with them to bring this new slate of programming to viewers around the world,” said Andrea Gorfolova, the president of Tricon Films & Television.

Jennifer Caserta, IFC’s president and general manager, added: “With a history of distributing comedy programming, Tricon realizes and appreciates the value of IFC’s original series and shares our creative sensibilities. They are the perfect partner to help IFC reach overseas audiences who enjoy our distinct brand of alternative comedy.”
