Channel 4 announces two new fast turnaround entertainment series, featuring some of Channel 4’s hottest stars, to keep the nation entertained whilst they are at home.
Reasons To Be Cheerful with Matt Lucas
Matt Lucas, the undisputed star of lockdown and the man behind the smash hit viral sensation in support of Feed NHS, Thank You Baked Potato, is to front a new Harry Hill penned comedy entertainment series for Channel 4 from Nit TV.
Reasons To Be Cheerful with Matt Lucas will celebrate the ability of men, women, children, celebrities and possibly even some pets to entertain themselves during some self-enforced downtime. Airing from Sunday 26th April at 7.30pm, the six-part fast turnaround series will see Matt host a raft of self-isolating comedians, TV personalities, musicians, sports stars and most importantly, members of the public, all from the safety of his own home.
Featuring a collection of comical comedy content from brand new sketches to upbeat homemade strands, the mutual minds of comedians extraordinaire Matt Lucas and Harry Hill promise to spread delight across the UK’s living rooms.
Mo Gilligan's All Star Happy Hour
Following a successful first outing for The Lateish Show, stand-up sensation Mo Gilligan is back to front a very special live four-part show where the very concept of staying in may win you a one-of-a-kind prize. Mo Gilligan’s All Star Happy Hour will be a joyful mix of his trademark sketches, viral formats, unique musical performances and hilarious prize-winning games as he invites members of the public to compete against celebrities in a series of challenges, whilst trying to stuff as much happiness into an hour as he possibly can.
Having already brought entertainment to the masses across social media with his hugely celebrated #QuarantineGames, Mo’s high-energy and brilliantly uplifting style makes him the perfect man to deliver joy to our screens when we need it most.
