The channel will launch its Comedy Central Presents brand in the Middle East on Comedy Central HD on February 5.

The 10×30’ series, recorded live in Dubai, will feature performances from 30 comedians across the Middle East.

The show will be hosted by Emirati comic Ali Al Sayed, who has also performed in the US, and Arab-American stand-up pioneer Mo Amer.

The move comes after Viacom launched its Comedy Central Studios Arabia venture in 2009 but closed it in 2012. Comedy Central HD features on OSN, the region’s leading pay TV network.
