It's a Laugh Productions, Inc. is an American production company owned by The Walt Disney Company which produces live-action teen sitcoms and sketch comedies airing on Disney Channel and Disney XD. It is a division of Disney Kids & Family.
With the notable exception of Jonas, most shows are produced and filmed before a live studio audience using a multi-camera setup, and released with a laugh track. While production takes place mostly at Hollywood Center Studios, other locations, such as Sunset Bronson Studios (as is the case for Hannah Montana), The Burbank Studios and Los Angeles Center Studios, have also been used.
History
It's a Laugh Productions, Inc. was founded on November 3, 2003, by Don Mink and Amy Rabins, former talent agents of Brookwell McNamara Entertainment.
