Secrets of the Apollo
In this 60-minute special, we celebrate 16 years of Britain’s greatest stand-up show, Live at the Apollo. A host of stand-up stars descend on the stalls of the Hammersmith Apollo to reminisce and reveal their own secrets of the iconic theatre. \n\nThrough these unique insights, we find out what it’s like on the night for the acts, how they cope with the nerves, how they choose their material, and even how they decide what to wear. Secrets of the Apollo combines brand new interviews with classic archive material from the BBC’s comedy crown jewel itself.
