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 both compering and performing, before introducing two of the best established and up-coming stand-ups to the stage.\n\nIn a special festive edition of the award-winning Live at the Apollo, the funny and fabulous Katherine Ryan is your host as she introduces Marlon Davis, Joel Dommett and John Robins to the stage.\n\nOther acts to appear throughout the series include Ed Byrne, Nish Kumar, Rob Beckett, Luisa Omielan, Jen Brister, Darren Harriott, Henning Wehn, Lucy Porter, Chris McCausland, Desiree Burch, Sara Pascoe, Dane Baptiste, Angela Barnes, Geoff Norcott, Guz Khan, Gary Delaney, David O'Doherty and Larry Dean.
