The 13-part, half-hour series is The Comedy Network?s newest original production.

Having recently won the prestigious Gold Medal Award for Best TV Variety Program at the New York Festivals for a third year in a row, sketch series Comedy Inc. returns for a fifth season of edgy sketch, social/political satire and uninhibited physical comedy.

The 11th season of this multi-award-winning, star-making, stand-up series, Comedy Now! promises to deliver another year of uncensored, all-Canadian laughs.
