800 Pound Gorilla Media is a global comedy media company built for comedians.

Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, we partner with comedians, rights holders, and entertainment companies to produce, distribute, market, and monetize stand up comedy across every major platform. From premium streaming originals and television specials to digital distribution, audio, social media, physical media, and licensing, we help comedy reach audiences wherever they watch and listen.

Our approach is simple: put comedians first.

We’ve built our company around clear reporting, honest communication, collaborative partnerships, and long term value creation. We work alongside our partners to develop strategies that maximize both audience growth and revenue while ensuring they understand how their content is performing every step of the way.

Today, 800 Pound Gorilla Media has become one of the world’s leading comedy media companies, producing and distributing acclaimed projects with some of comedy’s biggest names while partnering with industry leaders including Nateland, Laugh Out Loud Network, All Things Comedy, Comedy Central, and many more. Our work spans every stage of a comedy special’s lifecycle, from creative development and production through global distribution, marketing, audience development, and ongoing catalog management.

As the creators of Gorilla Comedy+, our premium streaming home for stand up comedy, we continue to invest in new ways for comedians to connect directly with fans while expanding opportunities across SVOD, AVOD, FAST, TVOD, audio streaming, YouTube, social platforms, and international licensing.

Whether we’re working with an emerging comedian releasing a first special or an established catalog with decades of history, our goal remains the same: build sustainable careers, create meaningful audience connections, and grow the business of comedy.
