James Acaster, Joel Dommett and more guest star in Content

Comics including James Acaster, Joel Dommett, Mark Silcox and Kieran Hodgson are to make appearances in a new online sitcom.

Content, which launches on November 12, is set in a terrible digital agency where inadequate employees struggle to create successful material for their clients.

As well as the six main episodes, spin-off material including a fictional podcast called Girly Boss, extra sketches and reaction vlogs from the characters, will also be released.

The core cast comprises Belle Fage, Kath Hughes, Rajiv Karia, Molly McNerney and Yiannis Vassilakis – who also created the series, based on his own experiences in the industry.

Director Stuart Laws from Turtle Canyon Comedy, said: 'By giving the sitcom spin-off episodes, podcasts and vlogs we managed to create characters which live and breathe away from the principal episodes. 

'It was a great way to add running jokes that work in the main episodes but have extra pay-offs. Yiannis is a brilliant comedy writer; it’s been an exciting project and a pleasure to work with such a talented cast.’

Other comedian names appearing include Annie McGrath Sadia Azmat, Sikisa Bostwick-Barnes, Isabella Inchbald, Harriet Kemsley and Evelyn Mok. 

New episodes will be released every Tuesday, with the additonal material on Wednesdays to Fridays,
