Live at the Apollo

It is long over due that there was a British comedy show on TV, during a decent time of day and with the best acts of the British Isles. Live at the Apollo hit our screens and hit it running. Presented with the infamously moody and famously unimpressed with everything, Jack Dee the show had a perfect beginning middle and end which always left you wanting more. The first series was called Jack Dee Live at the Apollo and he would present the acts as well as have a short stand up before at the interlude between acts and then finally at the end.

Live At The Apollo is a TV show that airs on the Dave channel. It is quite simple in essence, filmed live from the Hammersmith Apollo in London, with a top British comedian essentially 'hosting' a night at the venue, providing a bit of their own stand up routine before handing off and introducing a guest comedian.

I remember a few years ago when there was absolutely no stand up on television, Lee Evans was selling out Wembley Arena as was Eddie Izzard, the League of Gentlemen were a huge draw in their live show, but stand up on television had for some reason stopped.

Live at the Apollo, or as it was previously known as Jack Dee Live at the Apollo, is a comedy show demonstrating the very best of British Comedy talent; very similar to currently showing Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow. Originally the show was hosted by Jack Dee, but now there is a guest host each week, usually this guest host will be of a well know stature, while as before other well know or up and coming comedian would fill in the in between. The number of comedians on an episode can range from the the guest host and another comedian, to the guest host three other comedians. What I have found with this show is while it is usually good, it is ...  Read the complete review
