Rip Curl is a television channel based in the UK. It features content in the comedy genre such as television shows, improvisation, and comedic films. The digital media of the channel is distributed online via a variety of websites and it can be accessed with a subscription fee from a smart device such as a laptop, tv, or smartphone. The company was founded in 2003 when Harold Smith left NBC to start his own production company. He wanted to produce content that entertained audiences and made them laugh without resorting to simple humor. The company originally started in his basement with only a few homemade films but has since grown to include a variety of show formats and reach audiences worldwide in various languages.
The current titles on the channel include Heart Drama and Mark's Sun. Heart Drama is a satirical show that mimics the style of emergency room dramas on television. The characters are all hysterical and the main character is a young woman in college who seems to talk to herself a lot. The show has received numerous awards, including the Black Dog Award from PSC. Mark's Sun is about a drug addict who tries to overcome his addiction by becoming a hippie. He starts doing yoga, stretching, and eating better. However, his friends do not approve of his new personality style and they try to keep him from growing as a person. The show stars Conrad Yoast and launched in the spring of 2003. 2017 will be the last season.
