Show & Tell

TX: September, E4

Chris Addison brings his considerable comedic talents to the helm of a brand new comedy series, which is a celebration of storytelling, stand up and new comedy talent.

Show and Tell is filmed in front of a small studio audience. Each week, Chris is joined by three up and coming comics, who each bring some things to ‘show' and ‘tell' the audience all about. The items - whether they relate to something topical, personal or completely random - are the launch pad for them to each perform a mini solo stand-up routine, ‘telling' the audience about their chosen item, and ‘showing' why it's rich comedy pickings. The audience also bring their own personal and peculiar ‘show and tells' which Chris and his guests use as a launch pad for their sofa-based discussion.

In each show the comedians tell the audience about a personal item from home as well an item they have brought in as their homework challenge - covering topics including geography, childhood, technology and crime.

Rising stars appearing on the series include James Acaster, Susan Calman, Roisin Conaty, Elis James, Nick Helm, Maeve Higgins, Joe Lycett, Celia Pacquola, Tom Parry, Chris Ramsey, Josh Widdicombe and Joe Wilkinson.
