The Independent Comedy Network is a new media comedy brand. We work with professional talent to develop and distribute original comedy series online and beyond.
ICN operates under the basic improvisational comedy principle of YES, AND. In improv terms this means that whatever is presented on stage by one actor is heard and accepted by a fellow actor (YES) and then built upon (AND). This concept is the primary building block for all great improvisational comedy.
It is also central to our approach to business. This commitment to creativity, effective communication, and teamwork allows us to develop and nurture meaningful and mutually beneficial relationships with our viewers, as well as with our production, distribution and advertising partners. In addition, this process is also inherently interactive and positive in nature, both of which are essential ingredients in our brand of comedy.
