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 season 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.
The Season 13 premiere is hosted by Sara Pascoe as she introduces rising comedy star Larry Dean and master of the one-liner Gary Delaney to the stage.
Other acts to appear throughout the season include Henning Wehn, Katherine Ryan, Rob Beckett, Joel Dommett, Jen Brister, Darren Harriott, Dane Baptiste, Desiree Burch, David O'Doherty, Luisa Omielan, Ed Byrne, Nish Kumar, Lucy Porter, Guz Khan, Chris McCausland, Angela Barnes, Marlon Davis, John Robins and Geoff Norcott.
