ITV has announced new stand-up comedy series from Jonathan Ross, Jonathan Ross' Comedy Club, for broadcast later this year.

The show will be filmed in "a recreation of the vibe and atmosphere of a small comedy venue" while still observing coronavirus social distancing guidelines.

Each episode will see Ross introduce four new faces who will perform their stand-up routines, alongside established acts who will try out new material.

"Apart from the excuse to wear makeup, my favourite part of this job has always been giving exciting new talent a platform to show off their skills," said Ross of the six-part series.

"The excitement and joy in seeing a new face come out and deliver memorable comedy is a wonderful feeling, and we want to make sure as many people as possible get to experience it.

"There's so much incredible comedy talent around at the moment with all too few opportunities to do what they do best.

"I'm very much looking forward to giving these acts the exposure they deserve, having a good laugh and finally leaving my front room."

News of the new series comes days after BBC Three commissioned its own stand-up comedy show, The BBC Presents: Stand Up For Live Comedy.
