(Phill
Jupitus)
Currently running at 21h35 on BBC
Entertainment (channel 120 on DStv) is Live
at the Apollo Series 8.
The roll call of stand-ups who have
performed in front of a live audience at the world famous Hammersmith Apollo
plays out like a who’s who of comedic royalty, and the list of acts featured in
this series is no different.
Each episode sees a stand-up legend act as
compere and perform to the audience before introducing two of the best
stand-ups currently on the comedy circuit. Series eight features comedy
stalwart Phill Jupitus, misanthropic but loveable Jon Richardson, everyone’s
favourite Welshman Rhod Gilbert and the multi-talented Nina Conti, among many
others.
