TV.com summary

Live at the Apollo (formerly titled Jack Dee Live at the Apollo) is a British stand-up comedy programme performed from the Hammersmith Apollo Theatre in west London

Jack Dee hosted the first two series, performing a short segment before introducing a guest comedian. To date there have been two series of the show, both airing on Mondays at 10.35 p.m. on BBC One.

The programme was renamed for its third series which was filmed over three evenings in October 2007. The format was changed to suit with one of the nights performers assuming hosting duties.^[1]

A recurring aspect of the show is the host's mobile phone. Introduced during Dee's tenure the number was given to the audience at the beginning of the show. A selection of the comments and jokes sent as texts to the mobile are read out by the host at the end of the show.
