Premium streaming service PANTAYA, a joint venture between Lionsgate and Hemisphere Media Group, Inc., continues to expand its breadth of content by launching a series of comedy specials, Laugh Factory en Español.
Since opening its doors in 1979, Laugh Factory has entertained millions of people, many of them Spanish-speaking, and now will produce Spanish-language stand-up comedy, premiering exclusively on PANTAYA beginning April 21. Laugh Factory en Español, produced by Campanario Entertainment in collaboration with Laugh Factory founder Jamie Masada, will feature 22 comedians and consist of one-hour episodes that will debut two new episodes per month over a period of three months.
Originating from Hollywood’s World-Famous Laugh Factory nightclub, which has helped launch the careers of many comedy superstars, Laugh Factory en Español will be hosted by Mexican YouTube sensation Werevertumorro, who has over 50 million social media followers, and will feature many of Latin America’s most renowned comedians, including Slobotsky,Ibrahim Salem, Bobby Comedia, Cisco, Marcela Lecuona and Fran Hevia.

PANTAYA will increase its already broad variety of content with additional comedy specials, original series, concerts, and documentaries later this year. PANTAYA currently features the largest selection of Spanish-language films, including a wide variety of box office hits and critically acclaimed titles from Hollywood, Mexico and the rest of Latin America.
Laugh Factory en Español adds to PANTAYA’s slate of exclusive content already available on the service including Pantelion Films latest releases, films from Hemisphere’s extensive catalog never before available in the U.S. or Puerto Rico and access to select films while they are in theaters in Latin America.
