Comedy Bang! Bang! is a long-running and acclaimed comedy podcast that has expanded into television and various spin-off projects. After launching as Comedy Death-Ray Radio on May 1, 2009, on Indie 103, the acclaimed comedy entity now known as Comedy Bang!

Bang! quickly evolved into a multi-platform powerhouse. Hosted by writer and comedian Scott Aukerman, known for his work on HBO’s Mr. Show with Bob and David and for co-founding the weekly Comedy Death-Ray stage show, the program captivated audiences with its unique blend of celebrity interviews and improvised character work.

The show made a pivotal transition to the Earwolf comedy podcasting network in 2010. Marking its second anniversary, the show was formally rebranded as Comedy Bang! Bang! on May 15, 2011, solidifying its identity as a leading force in audio comedy.

This foundational period saw the show establish its signature format, eventually earning two Academy of Podcasters Awards in the Comedy category in 2015 and 2017. Building on its podcast success, Comedy Bang! Bang! expanded its reach to television with an eponymous series that premiered on IFC in 2012.

Demonstrating its continuous evolution and commitment to its dedicated fanbase, Comedy Bang! Bang! further expanded its digital footprint in 2021 with the launch of Comedy Bang Bang World. This innovative subscription platform, co-founded by Scott Aukerman and producer Brett Morris, serves as a comprehensive hub for the brand’s extensive content.
