MUMBAI: When the world needed a laugh, Just For Laughs didn’t clown around. In a move as smooth as a silent slapstick gag, Just For Entertainment Distribution inked a deal with Pluto TV to launch its FAST channel across Canada, Latin America, Brazil, France, Italy, and the Nordics. The Just For Laughs GAGS channel is now live and ready to tickle funny bones, sans dialogue, across six major territories.

Pluto TV, the reigning champ of free, ad-supported streaming television (FAST), has opened the global doors for the Montreal-born comedy empire. The partnership promises pure, no-translation-needed hilarity—where classic pranks meet universal mischief, and nobody is safe (except maybe your coffee mug).

“JFE Distribution is thrilled to announce our continuing expansion, now with our FAST deal with Pluto TV in several territories. Placing our award-winning content on new channels helps with our mission of ‘Keeping the world feeling good’ with the best programming around,” said Just For Entertainment Distribution CRSO Alex Avon.

Pluto TV International SVP of content strategy and acquisitions Kat Kowalski added, “Canadian content travels the globe so well. Pluto TV viewers love a good laugh, and through Canada’s JFE Distribution we are so happy to bring the Just For Laughs Channel to the FAST world through our platform.”

JFE Distribution director of monetisation & OTT Carlos Pacheco said, “Our new partnership with Pluto TV further exemplifies our unique standing as an independent producer and publisher by expanding our content into even more markets. We’re especially proud to bring Just for Laughs’ first FAST channel in the Canadian market with Pluto TV.”

The launch joins Pluto TV’s already broad buffet of genres in Canada—from crime drama and sci-fi to news, game shows, and anime. Now, with the Just For Laughs GAGS channel on the line-up, things just got a whole lot cheekier.

If laughter is the best medicine, Pluto TV may have just opened a cross-continental pharmacy.
