The week's comedy on demand

This week's best comedy shows on demand.

Revived

Revived is a fax reality show that follows the lives of No Access, 2004's biggest pop duo: Jaq Wheat And Dani B, as played by Natasia Demetriou and Ellie White

They haven't spoken since the band split when Jaq ran off with Dani Bs fiancé - Lee (Tom Stourton), front man of boy band Sly Boys. But now the girls are reforming to try to get a number 1 single…

John Robins

He just won the main prize at the Edinburgh Fringe with a heart-wrenching show about how he coped – or didn't – with the breakup of his long-term relationship. Which makes this Live At The BBC special, from earlier his year, already dated. Still funny, though… Watch on iPlayer here – and here's an extract:

Lee Mack and Friends at the Fringe

Who were the stars of Edinburgh in 2005? Radio 4 Extra just repeated this stand-up special from 12 years ago, with Dara O Briain, Alan Carr, Rhod Gilbert and Tim Minchin. Whatever happened to that lot?  Listen on iPlayer here.

I've Got A Job For You Gav

Gavin Webster has funded his own sitcom pilot, in which he stars as a cab driver who, in this episode, attends his aunt's funeral. The half-hour show co-stars Matt Reed, Alfie Joey, Sammy Dobson, Dave Greener and Viz co-founder Simon Donald, among others.

Kieran Hodgson's Earworms

The stand-up and classical music buff offers a comic introduction to some composers in the guise of educator Ralf Lewis in this series of Radio 4 shorts. Listen to the Schnittke episode on iPlayer here – guides to Glazunov and Mahler are also available.  Also starring Colin Hoult and Georgie Glen.
