A plethora of top comedians perform their best stand-up to an audience of over 3,000 at the Hammersmith Apollo in London.

The first two series, and the first episode of the third series, were hosted by Jack Dee and thus this show was originally titled Jack Dee Live At The Apollo. The episodes from the later series are hosted by one of the comedians on the bill for that night.

Our Review: We love this programme, as it gives the country's top stand-ups a place to showcase their best material. As a result, every episode is guaranteed to be full of laughs.

In 2008, this show received a huge boost - the cancelation of the autumn series of Friday Night With Jonathan Ross meant that Live At The Apollo got promoted from its previous Monday night slot to the prime-time Friday night slot. With the likes of Michael McIntyre and Frankie Boyle on the bill, the series received massive ratings and catapulted Live At The Apollo into the big time.
