A Ustreme tv series based on the classic 70's stand up show The Comedians

Twelve comedians will then be selected to attend “Laughter Class”, where they will be put through their paces and trained in all genres of comedy from stand-up to panto performance by a host of industry experts.

Six of the comics will then be selected to take part in a live stand-up show, also to be staged at the Gaiety on a date to be confirmed.

The acts will be judged on the night by the live audience and a celebrity panel, with the winner receiving a prize – including supporting Jim Davidson on one of his shows on his live tour.

The entire series will be filmed exclusively for Ustreme.
