As well as owning a stake in Impatient Productions, DLT president Donald Taffner Jr will sit on the prodco’s board.

Producing live and scripted comedy projects with comedians such as Josie Long and Shappi Khorsandi, Impatient Productions also plans to produce drama, documentaries and light entertainment.

The news follows DLT’s investments in The Soho Agency, Blue Book Artist Management and Andrew Roach Talent.

Taffner said: “We’ve been fans of Mark and Lianne’s and everything they’ve been doing at Impatient Productions for a long time. Despite being hugely successful already there’s no doubt that the industry faces new challenges and Impatient Production’s creativity and adaptability (especially during lockdown) has been so impressive and illustrates their work ethic and innovation.

“We’re excited to officially welcome them into the DLT family and can’t wait to see what the future holds as we delve into new territories, collaborations and ideas.”
