Don’t Tell Comedy Strikes First-Look Deal With Elan Gale’s TheYearOfElan As Live Stand-Up Producer Looks To Enter Content Business


Don't Tell Comedy has struck a first-look deal with TheYearOfElan, the production company of Elan Gale, Deadline can exclusively reveal.

Along with Head of Creative and Development Bill Dixon, Gale will shepherd the new partnership, working directly with Don’t Tell Comedy’s executive team, including CEO Kyle Kazanjian-Amory, COO Brett Kushner and Vice President of Production Marissa Gallant. Focused on character-driven storytelling and hybridized formats, TheYearOfElan is perhaps best known for creating Max’s splashy reality dating series FBoy Island, hosted by Nikki Glaser, which moved to The CW following its second season and has spurred numerous international adaptations. Producing more than 3,000 shows a year across the U.S., Canada, Europe and Australia, which have so far attracted hundreds of thousands of attendees, the company has more than seven million followers on social media, including 1.6M on YouTube alone.
