Seinfeld is considered as one of the best comedy shows to be aired and it is the first time that an Indian channel will take its viewers for a comedy outing.

Comedy Central has expanded globally and now spreads the cheer by laughing it off and having a chuckle–fest with the world’s best comedy shows in India as well. In the past too, the English Entertainment division of Viacom 18 (comprising of Comedy Central and Vh1 India) boasts of providing various such exciting opportunities to its viewers by sending them to watch The Grammys, The Golden Globe, Cold Play, U2 and many more.
