The digital radio channel will feature comedy routines from veteran stand-ups like Greg Giraldo, Dave Chappelle, Dane Cook, Mitch Hedberg, Aziz Ansari and Russell Peters, who have performed at the must-see Montreal festival for Hollywood agents and talent scouts.
“The Just for Laughs festival’s international reach and rich archive of stand-up material is a valuable addition to our comedy offering,” said Scott Greenstein, president and chief content officer at SiriusXM, in a statement Wednesday.
The channel will debut Thursday on channel 403 on SiriusXM radio, and be available via the Sirius radio app on smartphones or online at SiriusXM.com.
