On 15 January 1975 Black performed as the main entertainer of the first of six half-hour situation comedy plays. The series, broadcast by ITV, was entitled ''Cilla's Comedy Six'' and was written by [[Ronnie Taylor (scriptwriter)|Ronnie Taylor]]. During May 1975 the [[Writers' Guild of Great Britain]] named Black as Britain's Top Female Comedy Star.<ref name="Lifetime"/> The following year, [[Associated Television|ATV]] was commissioned to film six more plays as the initial series had accrued healthy viewing figures and remained constantly among the highest-scoring three shows of the week. During August 1976 Black reprised her role as a comedy actress in ''Cilla's World of Comedy'' which featured her theme song and new single "Easy in Your Company".<ref>{{cite book |first=Cilla |last=Black  |title=What's It All About? |year=2003 |publisher=[[Ebury Press]] |location=London |isbn=0-09-189036-5 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1oZNVBaHoDIC |chapter=20: Easy in Your Company |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1oZNVBaHoDIC&q=Cilla%E2%80%99s+world+of+comedy&pg=PA237 |page=237 |access-date=2024-10-11 |url-access=limited |via=[[Google Books]]}}</ref>

In 2013 it was announced that Black was set to co-star in a new BBC sitcom ''Led Astray'', alongside her friend [[Paul O'Grady]] — the pilot episode was recorded on 31 October 2013. However, the show was shelved because the pair were unable to cope with the long hours of filming.<ref>{{cite news |title=Cilla Black and Paul O'Grady's BBC Sitcom 'Led Astray' Axed |work=[[The Huffington Post UK]] |date=13 March 2014 |url=https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/03/13/cilla-black-paul-orady-led-astray-axed-sitcom_n_4954868.html |access-date=11 October 2024}}</ref>
