Laugh Attack is an XM Satellite Radio channel featuring uncensored Canadian comedy. It was born in November 2005 as part of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission's (CRTC) regulations for Canadian content on the XM platform.
The channel features uncensored Canadian stand-up and sketch comedy and promises to keep America informed about Canadian culture, as they have been "for over a quarter of a decimetre." Additionally, the channel plays plays non-Canadian comedy bits performed at Canadian venues.
The Program Director for Laugh Attack is Richard Maxwell (also the voice of Laugh Attack). The on-air personalities are Mark Breslin, Richard Maxwell, Ben Miner and Svetlana Pupkina.
This channel, The Verge, Radio Parallèle, and/or ATN-Asian Radio will be preempted by XM Radio Canada in order to air extra NHL play-by-play on channels 235 - 239.
