LAS VEGAS, -- Glencom Entertainment Inc., a developer of multimedia cell phone applications, and Zanies Comedy Clubs Inc., one of the most legendary comedy clubs in the world, today announced the availability of Zanies Wireless, a multimedia comedy application developed for QUALCOMM's Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless(TM) (BREW) platform.

Additional comedic content for the application will be provided by Comedy With A Byte Inc., dedicated to bringing laughter and motivational thoughts to corporate audiences around the world.
"Zanies longstanding presence in the world of comedy, their connection with top comedians and the company's willingness to explore new distribution channels make them an ideal partner in this effort," said Greg Halik, president of Glencom Entertainment. "Using the BREW platform our talented team of developers has created a multimedia application with an incredibly small footprint. While powerful and robust, because of the BREW platform the application is also suitable for all tiers of handsets and network capabilities."
"Having helped America laugh for 25 years, Zanies new partnership with Glencom Entertainment is a phenomenal way to move comedy forward in the 21st century," said Rick Uchwat, president of Zanies Comedy Clubs Inc.
