Sean Lock has added a London date to his Keep It Light tour.
He will play the Eventim Apollo on May 8, 2017. Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday, July 8 here.
Tributes to Caroline Aherne, whose death from cancer was announced today, have been flooding in.
Tania Alexander, who created C4's Gogglebox, which Aherne narrated, tweeted: "Beyond sad about the loss of my dear pal Caroline Aherne - she was funny, clever and a huge inspiration to me."
I don’t know how nervous performers get but I get pretty nervous sitting in the audience. Particularly when it is a relatively unknown comedian doing a free gig in a large venue that they hadn’t initially planned to play. This was what happened to Sofie Hagen last year when there was a last minute venue switch. I was worried that the audience might not warm to her as she was an unknown quantity, but from the moment she came on and opened with a particularly memorable line about pissing on a man she instantly had everyone onside.
The finalists have been announced for this year's Comedy Knights Fresh Comedian of 2016.
The BBC Trust has ruled that the episode of R4 comedy Don't Make Me Laugh broadcast on the day of the Queen's ninetieth birthday that included jokes about her sex life was in "serious breach" of editorial guidelines.
David Brent, alias Ricky Gervais, is to play two major gigs with his band Foregone Conclusion.
Ricky Gervais made the announcement on Twitter today. The shows will be at the Eventim Apollo on September 8 & 9.
The gigs will follow the release of David Brent: Life on the Road, the movie in which David Brent takes time off from his job as a toilet products salesman to pursue his rock and roll dream with a UK tour. The film is releasd on August 19. Brent/Gervais will also be releasing a soundtrack album.
Following the postponement of his appearances last autumn psychic Shirley Ghostman's ‘Spooktactular’ (now not on ice due to insurance reasons) will be taking place in October 2016.
8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown is nominated for a TV Choice Award. C4's mashed-up comedy quiz show is up for Best Entertainment Show alongside Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway (ITV), Celebrity Juice (ITV2) and The Graham Norton Show (BBC1).
Elsewhere Russell Howard's Good News is in the running for Best Comedy alongside Benidorm (ITV), Birds Of A Feather (ITV) and Stella (Sky1).
Comedian Simon Brodkin attempted to interrupt a speech by Donald Trump about the Brexit vote at the Turnberry golf course in Scotland today.
The Republican Presidential hopeful was about to speak when Brodkin appeared in wig and glasses. He started speaking and produced a red golf ball with a swastika on it before being dragged away by security.
Trump responded by saying: "Get him out!"
It’s Pete Sinclair that I feel sorry for. Among others of course. He is one of the writers of C4’s Power Monkeys and as if it wasn’t hard enough already to write a whole sitcom episode in a day, he now has to write funny jokes about a situation that I suspect he doesn’t find very funny. Caveat - I know Pete is sharp and clever so I’m assuming he supported Remain. That’s my educated guess, but I think this piece will make sense even if I’m barking up the wrong tree.
