The first episode of Comedy Bites, the new RTÉ show of comedy shorts, has been made available on the RTÉ Player.
The episode is the first of four and the sketches, or "bites", come from four Irish production companies: Four Giants, Southpaw Pictures, Ghost Train Willy and Fawn Films.
The series was funded by RTÉ Television and overseen by the same team that commissioned The Savage Eye and Republic of Telly.
Speaking about the new series, RTÉ Television Head of Comedy Eddie Doyle said: "The short-form format really lends itself to comedy and the sketches we have selected from these talented production companies is of a really high standard. I am really happy with the results and I hope people will enjoy them."
Sketches include a one man GAA team, international drinking forecasts and a investigative journalist trying to break into the world of television.
The first set of Comedy Bites is available for viewing here. The three remaining episodes will be released every Monday for the next three weeks.
