Friday Night Live - Full Episode
Friday Night Live returns for a 90-minute comedy variety special that promises to be loud, outrageous, noisy and VERY funny. Back to host is the masterful Ben Elton, who is joined by friends from the original series such as Harry Enfield, Julian Clary and Jo Brand, and new friends from today's circuit including Rosie Jones, Mawaan Rizwan, Jordan Gray, Ronni Ancona and Sam Campbell, who will provide a mixture of topical sketches and incredible stand-up. As well as all that stonking comedy talent in one room, there's live music courtesy of Mercury Prize nominee Self Esteem.
