At the forefront of its genre, the roll call of stand-ups who have performed in front of the famous Live at the Apollo lights plays out like a who’s who of comedic royalty, and this series is no different. Each episode sees a national (and sometimes international!) stand-up both compering and performing, before introducing two of the best established and up-coming stand-ups to the stage.

This episode is hosted by the inimitable Tom Allen, who introduces the fantastic Rosie Jones and the wonderful Kae Kurd to the world-famous Apollo stage.

Other acts to appear throughout the series include Sindhu Vee, Alex Edelman, Lou Sanders, Darren Harriott, Jessica Fostekew, Stephen Bailey, Desiree Burch, Paul McCaffrey, Jonny Pelham, Ardal O'Hanlon, Sara Barron, Mawaan Rizwan, Guz Khan, Kiri Pritchard-McLean, Rhys James, Sara Pascoe, Chris McCausland and Flo & Joan.
