Criminally Funny Coming to Comedy Central UK

Workerbee, a Banijay UK company, has been commissioned by Comedy Central UK to produce the 40-part series Criminally Funny.

The clip-based series will shine a light on some of the world’s most inept criminals—from thieves being chased off by old ladies and robbers falling through ceilings. Using CCTV, dashcam and smart phone footage, each episode examines bizarre, unpredictable and foolish crimes from around the world.

Criminally Funny is a Workerbee production for Comedy Central UK. It was commissioned by Cherry Yeandle, senior acquisitions and co-production manager at ViacomCBS Networks UK. It will be executive produced by Ed Sayer for Workerbee and will broadcast later this year.

Rick Murray, managing director for Workerbee, said: “It’s great to get such a bumper commission from Comedy Central. It’s astonishing and hilarious to see just how thoughtless some of these criminals are. We have some very funny footage of some very incompetent people.”
