Stand-up comedy with Fred MacAulay and guests, from The Stand Comedy Club in Newcastle.

Fred MacAulay introduces some of the country's best and most exciting stand-up comedians recorded live in Newcastle. The closest thing to a night at a comedy club you can get.

Fred MacAulay is back at The Stand Comedy Club in Newcastle, doing what he does best - making people laugh.

This series brings another selection of some of the best stand-up comedians working in the UK right now. Some you’ll know and some you won’t know - yet.

It's another cracking line up with comedians from all over the country. Local hero Gavin Webster is clearly having the time of his life performing on his home turf, and it's a joy to listen to. He's joined on stage by one of the stars of BBC Northern Ireland's Soft Border Patrol, Elaine Malcolmson, whose deadpan humour is perfect for an intimate club gig like this. 

No stranger to Radio 4, Nathan Caton shows the audience that he's a true supporter of feminism in sport, while relative newcomer Anja Aitkinson shares her bullet proof business plan. 

Completing the line up is Liam Farrelly from Scotland, who has a family of sisters, aunties and penguins, and he is gutted that he didn't get invited on his new uncle's stag do. 

Fred At The Stand is the closest thing your ears are going to get to an actual night in a comedy club.
