Comedians in Court as U.K. Trial Kicks Off Over Sitcom ‘Copied’ by Steve Coogan’s Production Company
Comedians took the witness stand in the U.K. today to testify over claims that Steve Coogan's production company Baby Cow 'copied' a sitcom.
London’s High Court could have been mistaken for the Comedy Store on Monday after a stellar line-up of entertainers took to the witness stand to testify in a case over a “copied” sitcom. Comedian Harry Deansway, who filed the lawsuit under his legal name Joshua Rinkoff, has accused Steve Coogan’s production company Baby Cow of copying his 2013YouTube series “Shambles,” which blended sitcom and stand-up. Baby Cow also called on comedians Ellie White (“The Windors”), Alexander Owen (“A Very Royal Scandal”) and Ben Ashenden (“Jurassic World Dominion”) to testify on its behalf, since all three had written for “Live at the Moth Club” after being hired by Majendie.
