In​ ​2015,​ ​YouTube​ ​Space​ ​​launched​​ ​its​ ​first​ ​initiative​ ​to​ ​spotlight​ ​creators​ ​who​ ​catalyze​ ​​more​ ​female-driven content​​ ​on​ ​YouTube​ ​for​ ​global​ ​audiences​ ​to​ ​enjoy.​ ​​ ​This​ ​year’s​ ​program​ ​marks​ ​a​ ​continuation​ ​of​ ​these efforts​ ​tied​ ​to​ ​one​ ​of​ ​the​ ​most​ ​powerful​ ​of​ ​genres​ ​in​ ​entertainment:​ ​comedy.​ ​With​ ​the​ ​help​ ​of professionally​ ​designed​ ​sets​ ​and​ ​assistance​ ​from​ ​trained​ ​production​ ​crews​ ​provided​ ​by​ ​the​ ​team​ ​at YouTube​ ​Space,​ ​YouTube​ ​creators​ ​will​ ​be​ ​invited​ ​to​ ​create​ ​epic​ ​female-driven​ ​comedy​ ​videos​ ​over​ ​a twelve-week​ ​period.
“At​ ​WhoHaha​ ​we​ ​believe​ ​it’s​ ​not​ ​only​ ​important​ ​but​ ​essential​ ​for​ ​women​ ​to​ ​have​ ​a​ ​platform​ ​to​ ​be​ ​able​ ​to share​ ​their​ ​voices​ ​and​ ​creativity.​ ​That’s​ ​why​ ​we’re​ ​excited​ ​to​ ​be​ ​teaming​ ​up​ ​with​ ​YouTube​ ​Space​ ​on​ ​this initiative​ ​that’s​ ​providing​ ​such​ ​a​ ​groundbreaking​ ​opportunity​ ​to​ ​creators​ ​all​ ​over​ ​the​ ​world,”​ ​says​ ​Elizabeth Banks.
