Live at the Apollo (2004–…) watch online

Live at the Apollo (formerly titled Jack Dee Live at the Apollo) is a British stand-up comedy programme performed from the Hammersmith Apollo. The programmes are recorded, not broadcast live, but the acts perform in front of a live audience.

Jack Dee hosted the first two series and the opening show of the third series, performing a short segment before introducing a guest comedian. Until 2015, all episodes were broadcast on BBC One. The show moved to BBC Two in November 2015. The programme was renamed for its third series which was filmed over three evenings in October 2007. The format was changed to have one of the night's performers assuming hosting duties.

A fourth series began transmission on 28 November 2008. It showcased a variety of the newer stand-up comedians and was rescheduled from Monday nights to Friday nights to replace Friday Night with Jonathan Ross following Ross's suspension in the wake of the Sachsgate row. After hosting the first episode, Michael McIntyre was given his own show with a similar format: Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow which was broadcast from 2009 until 2011.

On 29 July 2026, the BBC announced that Live at the Apollo will end after series 21, which will be filmed in the autumn, due to cuts at the broadcaster.
