Comedy Central Extra is a sister comedy television channel to Comedy Central available in the Adriatic region, Czech Republic, Ireland, Moldova, the Netherlands, Romania,Bulgaria, Slovakia and the United Kingdom.
The channel launched as Paramount Comedy 2 in the UK and Ireland on 1 September 2003 on Sky, and followed soon after on 22 September 2003 on Telewest and 15 October 2003 on NTL. The channel was originally a so-called 'timeshift' service, offering programmes from Paramount Comedy at different times. It later started broadcasting some different programming from Paramount, often British.
On 17 February 2009, it was announced that both Paramount Comedy 1 and Paramount Comedy 2 would be re-branded as Comedy Central and Comedy Central Extra on 6 April 2009 at 9 pm. The name change coincided with the launch of a new programming line-up which included new episodes of Two and a Half Men, The Office and South Park.
On 1 November 2011, Comedy Central Extra launched a localised version in the Netherlands through cable operator Ziggo. Followed by KPN on 15 January 2012 and UPC Netherlands on 1 April 2012. On 1 August 2012, the channel launched in the Adriatic region: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia.
