Sky today announces that four new series of Sky Original digital shorts will be landing on YouTube this April, showcasing some of the UK's freshest and exciting up-and-coming comedy talent.
The four series will welcome new talent to the Sky family, including breakout comedy star Kae Kurd with his fitness-themed series Sets and Reps', internet personality Stevo the Madman with his vlog-style series The Mad House,' stand-up comedian Andrew Mensah with his innovative interview series Media Trained', and comedian and actress Kyrah Gray with Gagging for It', an all-new take on the dating show.
KAE KURD: SETS AND REPS
Sets and Reps sees comedian and viral content sensation Kae Kurd and guests attempt to follow the most extreme fitness regimes of the world's biggest celebrities. Guided by Kae's personal trainer, global fitness influencer Diren Kartal, each episode will focus on a different hardcore workout - from a Hollywood actor's gruelling superhero movie training to a supermodel's brutal martial arts routine. Diren will make sure that both Kae and his guest fully complete the difficult, sometimes even ridiculous, exercise challenges.
Sets and Reps will launch on Sky TV's YouTube channel on 10th April
STEVO THE MADMAN: THE MAD HOUSE
Stevo, a chaotic yet lovable dad, juggles family life, podcasting, and celebrity chaos all under one roof. From awkward co-parenting nights to improvised music videos in the backyard and date-night disasters, Stevo's life is a whirlwind of hilarious mishaps. Each episode dives into his unconventional parenting, blended family dynamics, and the unpredictable antics of his daughters. Featuring behind-the-scenes footage, celebrity cameos, and Stevo's candid "to-camera" moments, the show offers a comedic and heartfelt glimpse into his world. It's a raw, laugh-out-loud look at the life of a YouTube sensation trying to have it all - his way.
The Mad House will launch on Sky TV's YouTube channel on 22nd April
ANDREW MENSAH: MEDIA TRAINED
This irreverent series hosted by the effortlessly funny Andrew Mensah (Fantasy Football League), throws traditional interviews out the window. "Media Trained" offers unfiltered moments with todays biggest names in youth culture. Andrews cheeky humour and laid-back style reveal what celebs are really like, from football stars, and trailblazing musicians to internet icons. Each episode features playful banter and unexpected confessions, diving into what fans truly want to know. Expect big laughs and moments where things might just go off the rails-in the best way possible.
Media Trained will launch on Sky TV's YouTube channel on 8th May
KYRAH GRAY: GAGGING FOR IT
An all-new dating format where comedian Kyrah Gray helps funny people find love. Each episode follows a different set of potentials trying to find a love match with a sensational single who finds a sense of humour to be the most attractive quality in a partner. It's as much about falling in laugh as it is about falling in love. Each episode sees a group of single jokers flexing their comedy muscles over a series of challenges designed to showcase their comedy chops. The competing singles will need to bring their funny A-game to keep the picker laughing and stay in the running for a date. At the end of each hilarious round, Kyrah is on hand to help the picker decide who stands the chance of a date, and who they want to eliminate.
Gagging for It will launch on Sky TV's YouTube channel on 20th May
The Digital Shorts will start to air on Sky TV's YouTube channel next month
