Synopsis

Eight comedians, four old-skool comedians, four new alternative comics, live and work together putting on a comedy show each night. The live audience vote each night for their favourite comic. The comic with the most votes over the week is that week's King of Comedy, the bottom three faced elimination. The King could save one of the bottom three, the other two were put to the public vote. Continue until one remains.

The winner was meant to get their own E4 show. Didn't seem to materialise.
