Jason Manford welcomes Judi Love, Toussaint Douglass and Michael Stranney to the stage.

Jason Manford kicks off this live stand-up series by welcoming Judi Love, Toussaint Douglass, Michael Stranney and Jayde Adams to the stage to share their highs and lows of lockdown.

Part of BBC Two’s Festival of Funny, this live stand-up series aims to spread a bit of joy and laughter by showcasing the very best comedy talent. 

Jason Manford kicks off the series by welcoming four brilliant stand-ups to the stage to share their highs and lows of lockdown, as well as other hilarious observations. Judi Love shares her passion for masks while charmingly awkward Toussaint Douglass breaks down the problem he has with his girlfriend's cat. Newcomer Michael Stranney gives us an insight into his unique family life, and Jayde Adams is still trying to get away with murder.

Each episode is filmed at a Covid-secure comedy club in front of the production team, with a virtual audience tuning in from home.
