E4 has partnered with Wall of Comedy founders Percelle Ascott, Joivan Wade and Tafara Makopa in a first look development deal.

Wade and Ascott both starred in E4 series Youngers, after the success of their YouTube series Mandem On The Wall.

The duo launched hit online platform, Wall of Comedy in 2015, spanning YouTube, Facebook and Instagram, all of which has achieved over 3.5 billion views so far.

The pair also starred in and co-produced viral sensation, Shiro’s Story, a three-part drama told mainly through rap, inspired by real-life events in South London.

Ascott exclaimed his delight at working with a company that “has a reputation for producing award-winning programming.”

Wade said: “Working and nurturing great talent within our space and creating a multitude of entertaining online formats, has always been our passion and to have such a fantastic broadcaster who believes in us to do the same for television is amazing.”
