A group of aspiring comedians were given a masterclass from an established artist in this late-night ITV series.
We saw excerpts of each amateur’s stage act and heard the analytical pro’s assessment, intercut with a brief interview in which the professional explained how they broke into comedy.
In the second half of the show, the budding comics performed before a London club audience and one was voted a winner.
Four of the weekly winners progressed to a grand final where the overall victor (Paul Kerensa) was offered agency representation, a cash prize and a trophy.
The professional comedians on the show included Stephen K Amos, Adam Bloom, Geoff Boyz, Jo Caulfield, Omid Djalili, Malcolm Hardee, Jeff Innocent, Dave Johns, and Phil Nicol.
The first series was hosted by an Australian musical comedy duo, Supergirly, who specialised in soundalike spoofs of pop acts. The second series was hosted by Paul Tonkinson.
