deadline.com:

EXCLUSIVE: After announcing its first comedy special for Netflix — a current events-themed talk show format, hosted by Tim Dillon — Elan Gale‘s TheYearOfElan Productions has struck a first-look deal with the world’s largest independent producer of live stand-up shows, Don’t Tell Comedy.

A go-to platform for emerging comedians, Don’t Tell will collaborate with the company to develop and produce a range of unscripted content.

Along with Head of Creative and Development Bill Dixon, Gale will shepherd the new partnership, working directly with Don’t Tell Comedy’s executive team, including CEO Kyle Kazanjian-Amory, COO Brett Kushner and Vice President of Production Marissa Gallant.

Another partner on projects emerging from the deal will be ITV America, which set an overall deal with TheYearOfElan last year.
