Offering more than 130 shows from stand-up names old and new, the streaming platform operates on a subscription basis of £4.99 per month, with a week’s free trial. It is available on all major platforms, including Apple TV, web, Android, iOS, and Chromecast.

NextUp’s existing investors Velocity Technology EIS Fund will lead this new financing round, hoping to build on the successes of their last investment round. Since NextUp’s previous round of investment in 2018, the value of the company has increased by 175%. 

The market for video subscription services has a global value of £19b, and there has been a recent rise in the demand for genre-specific streaming services.
