London, UK – NextUp, a UK-based platform that airs stand-up comedy specials, will be adding seven new American comedy stand-up acts to its selection. Users can expect to see these changes this summer, as the new additions will be available throughout July and August.

This UK-based streaming service features a collection of recorded stand-up comic acts. It’s known for content featuring popular comedians like Hal Cruttenden and Tiernan Douieb. The website also grants users access to exclusive comedy specials.

The seven new American comedy stand-up acts include names like Finesse Mitchell, Doug Stanhope, and Michael Yo. These new comedians joining NextUp have received positive praise. Comedy-centric sites like Chortle and The Laugh Button have complimented these performers. Even major news outlets like The Guardian and The San Antonio Current have commended their work.

NextUp is focused on featuring talent from all backgrounds. In response to the upcoming changes, Sarah Henley, the platform’s co-founder stated: “We’re always looking to add comics from different backgrounds to our catalogue and we’re thrilled to have such a wealth of U.S. comics join NextUp over the summer.”

NextUp further promotes diversity through its Grapevine Bursary program. This program works to ensure that performers of all identities and backgrounds are given equal opportunities in the comedy world. The program encourages people who have disabilities, people of colour, or people who identify as female, trans, or non-binary to apply to the Grapevine Bursary. Approved applicants receive funding to help cover the cost of filming their shows.

Users of the streaming service have recognized its accessibility. The platform is available on the web, Apple TV, Fire TV, Android, iOS, Chromecast, Roku, and Amazon channels. The streaming platform costs £4.99 per month for users to enjoy its content. New users can try NextUp for 7 days free of cost.

In addition to making more content available, NextUp is getting its users directly involved in its success. Starting this month, users can invest in the company. The investment process will take place through Crowdcube, an online crowdfunding platform. Users can buy shares of NextUp, starting at £10.00 per share.

With the launch of new content from American comics, NextUp hopes to expand its reach, gain new fans, and promote diversity within the international comedy industry.
