Punched Up is a new hybrid comedy series that blurs the lines between what's real and what's funny.

Part improvised sitcom, part makeover spoof and part reality TV satire, this 13-part, half-hour series features a team of seven comedy writers-turned-makeover-artists who 'punch up' lives with a healthy dose of laughs. The series stars Second City vets Lauren Ash, Matt Baram, John Catucci, Scott Montgomery, Naomi Snieckus and members of Toronto's cult hit comedy troupe, The Sketchersons, Shannon Beckner and Pat Thornton. The laugh-packed series also features celebrity guest stars John Avery (Toronto Argos), Lisa Benton (Naked News), Mark Holmes (former Platinum Blonde rock star), Jeff Hutcheson (Canada AM), Michael Landsberg (Off The Record), Tanya Kim and Ben Mulroney (etalk), professional wrestlers Rowdy Roddy Piper and WWE champ Edge, among others.
