Sure, Flight of the Concords, 30 Rock, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Parks and Recreation are streaming on Sky. But here a six comedies you may have not seen that are definitely worth watching (free 7 day trial).

Romantic Getaway
You have a terrible boss and you need £50k for IVF treatment. So you next move is to steal from your boss, right?
Katherine Ryan and Romesh Ranganathan are brilliant as a couple who haven’t really thought this plan through (Jonny Vegas is also a great terrible boss).
Barry
Bill Hader plays the role of an assassin battling with his choice of career. Could acting be his escape?
Flatbush Misdemeanors
Dan Pearlman and Kevin Iso are struggling to balance modern life in New York as things begin to escalate and get out of control. If you like Atlanta, you’ll like Flatbush Misdemeanors.
Peacemaker
If you didn’t like Suicide Squad movies, don’t worry, neither did I.
Peacemaker focuses on the best actor (John Cena) and character (Peacemaker). I was surprised at how funny this turned out to be, John Cena needs to be given more opportunities to lead blockbuster comedies (Dwayne Johnson should watch his back).
Peacemaker is packed with stupid humor ands laughs, it definitely focuses less on the superhero plot than others in this genre.

Rob & Romesh vs
Every episode, comedians Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan try something new to see who is better.
They’ve tried everything from Olympic events to being a drag queen to running a kitchen.
Code 404
Stephen Graham and Daniel Mays are hilarious as buddy cop partners. John Major (May) is brought back to life using technology while Roy Carver (Graham) has a secret that affects Major.
Bloods
Bloods followed a team of paramedics in South London dealing with some terrible patients as well as each other. The casting and characters are great and there are some fantastic insults. Bloods is like a slightly less word Green Wing.
