Advantages: A good laugh when watching

Disadvantages: Dependant on which comedians appear on the show

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 very dependant on the comedians on that episode. If it is just the odd comedian on the show that I am waiting to see and he or she is the last to come on, I can quite easily become bored and easily turned over. But usually there is enough comedy and humor in an episode to keep me entertained.

One of the best bits of the show, that was carried over in one series from when Jack Dee was presenting the show, is when the guest host is reading text messages from the audience. As I found this was one of the best parts of the show. But sadly this has been removed from the show, which I was disaponted at, but again this was only a minor point of the show.

I would recommend this show to anybody that enjoys a good laugh, as usually anybody can find a comedian they enjoy watching as the show has a wide variety. Also if you have not seen the show before, you can often see it being repeated on Dave regularly.

Summary: Definately recommend for a good laugh
