TWO OF the world's hottest comedians, Louis C.K. and Zach Galifianakis, have teamed up to produce 2016's most anticipated new comedy.
Baskets is the story of Chip Baskets (Galifianakis), a man who dares to follow his dream of becoming a professional clown.
But he quickly discovers it's not as easy as it looks to make people laugh.
After he fails to successfully enrol at a prestigious clowning school in Paris, Chip finds the only job he can get is with the local rodeo.
Chip just wants to make the world laugh. But can he overcome anti-clown prejudice, a long-suffering partner and the forces of society to become a respected clown against all the odds?
This hot new comedy is also co-written by Portlandia's Jonathan Krisel.
If Baskets is anything like Louie – rated 93 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes and described as a "thrilling, weird and funny foray into the brain of Louis C.K." – it's set to become an instant comedy classic.
Baskets premieres on The Comedy Channel January 26, 2016.
