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\nIrish comedy star Ed Byrne hosts this episode, introducing the fantastic Angela Barnes and the wonderful Geoff Norcott to the world-famous Apollo stage.\n\nOther acts to appear throughout the series include Henning Wehn, Katherine Ryan, Rob Beckett, Joel Dommett, Jen Brister, Darren Harriott, Dane Baptiste, Desiree Burch, David O'Doherty, Luisa Omielan, Sara Pascoe, Nish Kumar, Lucy Porter, Guz Khan, Chris McCausland, Gary Delaney, Marlon Davis, John Robbins and Larry Dean.
