Comedy Central UK has greenlit two new comedy entertainment shows from the makers of Made In Chelsea and Don’t Hate The Playaz.
Fact Off is a comedian-led quiz format, while The Complaints Department is a panel show based around gripes.
The broadcaster announced the commissions from producers Monkey at the same time it revealed a new female-led discussion show Yesterday, Today & The Day Before.
In the six hour-long episodes of The Complaints Department, two teams of comics will be presented with ‘moans, whines and protests’ harvested from the internet, tweets, interviews and letters of complaint.
