The Bafta-nominated Live at the Apollo returns to BBC Two for a highly anticipated 14th 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 fifth episode is hosted by the star of ITV's Bad Move and Dave's Taskmaster, the hysterically funny Kerry Godliman, as she introduces the energetic Suzi Ruffell and South African comedian Loyiso Gola to the stage.\n\nOther acts to appear throughout the series include Ellie Taylor, Tez Ilyas, Fin Taylor, Jamali Maddix, Fern Brady, Sindhu Vee, Sarah Millican, Gary Delaney, Laura Lexx, Ahir Shah, Phil Wang, Rachel Parris, Brennan Reece, Kerry Godliman, Suzi Ruffell, Loyiso Gola, Dara O Briain, Felicity Ward and Mo Gilligan.
