The Bafta-nominated Live At The Apollo returns to BBC Two for a highly anticipated fourteenth series with seven episodes, including a Christmas special. 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 compering and performing, before introducing two of the best established and up and coming stand-ups to the stage.\n\nThe first episode of the series is hosted by the wonderfully witty star of BBC Two's The Mash Report Ellie Taylor, as she introduces rising comedy star Fin Taylor and the provocative Tez Ilyas to the stage.\n\nOther acts to appear throughout the series include Jamali Maddix, Fern Brady, Sindhu Vee, Sarah Millican, Gary Delaney, Laura Lexx, Ahir Shah, Phil Wang, Rachel Parris, Brennan Reece, Gina Yashere, Lost Voice Guy, Ed Gamble, Kerry Godliman, Suzi Ruffell, Loyiso Gola, Dara O Briain, Felicity Ward and Mo Gilligan.
