Then there's the frequency and speed with which content can now be commissioned and produced: Turtle Canyon Comedy release new content pretty much every week, Next Up film and upload new live shows every month, and Netflix released 47 international stand-up specials all at once on New Year’s Day. The fact we can now trawl through comedy old and new, catching up on that show your mates won’t stop going on about three months later, and easily sharing those moments that made you cry-laugh, has revolutionised the viewing experience. There’s no need to ring your sister to tell her to tape your programme off the telly anymore, or praying that the next series of Friends won’t clash with EastEnders. Of course, the nature of comedy broadcasting is a world away from when Jack and Victor first graced our screens as part of Chewin’ the Fat in 1999.
