Comedy Dynamics Licenses Ken Weinstock Library

LOS ANGELES, CA – Comedy Dynamics has licensed one of the most respected and treasured collections in stand-up comedy history, the Ken Weinstock Library. It contains a wide-array of stand-up from some of the biggest names in television and film, including: Dave Chappelle, Adam Sandler, Denis Leary, Tim Allen, and Chris Rock.

KMW Productions has been a leading producer of stand-up comedy television for over a quarter century. It has been the comedy supplier for popular shows such as the Showtime Comedy Club Network, Pair of Jokers, Full Frontal Comedy, and Comedy Club All Stars. The roster of comedy talent reads like a comic’s Who’s Who including performances by Lewis Black, Brett Butler, Drew Carey, Margaret Cho, Jeff Foxworthy, and Ray Romano.

“I’ve been fortunate to work with great comedic talent,” says Ken Weinstock. “Many of whom started as stand-up comics and became stars in television and motion pictures. Their stand-up performances show their unique voices and ‘stand-up’ as timelessly very, very funny.”

The Showtime Comedy Club Network is at the heart of the library with a priceless collection of over 500 comedic performances, only some of which have actually aired. Among the 500 performances are Tom Arnold, Anthony Clark, Nick DiPaolo, Darrell Hammond, Steve Harvey, Kevin James, George Lopez, Norm MacDonald, Larry Miller, Joe Rogan, and hundreds more.

Comedy Club All Stars is an original one-hour program series, each of which is hosted by a ‘name’ comic and incorporates the performances of national headliners in casino show rooms taped in Atlantic City, Las Vegas, and Lake Tahoe (1988-1995). Hosts include: Tim Allen, Harry Anderson, Woody Harrelson, Bill Engvall, John Pinette, Penn & Teller, Don Rickles, and Joan Rivers.

“Ken Weinstock is as important to comedy as the library he built,” says Brian Volk-Weiss, President of Comedy Dynamics. “Some of the most influential names in the comedy world live on through his work. This is a dream come true for comedy lovers everywhere.”

Comedy Dynamics is the largest independent stand-up comedy production and distribution company in North America, producing the popular new series on History, Join Or Die with Craig Ferguson, MTV2’s Wild ‘N On Tour, Coming To The Stage, and has worked with a wide-range of established and emerging comedic talent including Kevin Hart, Louis C.K., Aziz Ansari, Jim Gaffigan, Katt Williams and many more. Comedy Dynamics is available on many streaming platforms including: Hulu, Roku, iOS, Amazon, and Android.

Eight albums produced between 2013-2015 have been Grammy-nominated, one of which, Louis C.K. Live At Madison Square Garden, won Best Comedy Album in 2016.
