Featuring Jack Dee, Katherine Ryan, Harry Hill, and Josh Widdicombe, Sky is bringing top comedy talent to screens. They are doing this with new stand-up specials.
Sky and streaming service NOW are bringing audiences a fresh dose of laughter with a brand-new slate of stand-up comedy specials, featuring some of the UK’s most celebrated comedians.
Leading the line-up of these Sky Originals is Jack Dee: Small World, premiering on 4 December. Katherine Ryan: First Born Daughter will follow later in the month. And the laughs don’t stop there. Harry Hill and Josh Widdicombe will bring even more comedy brilliance with brand-new stand-up specials in 2026.
These specials are all part of a deal with Off the Kerb Productions for Sky, bringing some of the sharpest and funniest voices in British comedy straight to viewers. The deals were negotiated by Alex Wright, Acquisitions Manager at Sky, and Flo Howard from Off the Kerb.
Jack Dee: Small World
Recorded live at the London Palladium, join Jack Dee as he guides you through his varied life and career with his customary charm and well-known gift for talking absolute rubbish on any given subject.
Katherine Ryan: First Born Daughter
Katherine Ryan returns with her brand new special: First Born Daughter. Delivering her signature brand of quick-witted social commentary, Katherine tackles marital dynamics and motherhood to media scandals, whilst answering real-life audience dilemmas and offering no-holds-barred advice.
Harry Hill: New Bits & Greatest Hits
Harry Hill celebrated 60 years of fun, laughter and low-level disruption with a critically acclaimed tour. He will be recording this special at the newly renovated Soho Theatre Walthamstow in February.
Josh Widdicombe: Not My Cup Of Tea
Josh Widdicombe returns with his brand-new show dealing with all the big issues: party bags, his time on Strictly and finding out he’s a direct descendant of Henry VIII. He will be filming this special at London’s Hackney Empire.
Further details on each special will be announced in due course.
All specials will air on Sky Comedy and streaming service NOW.
