The week's best comedy on TV, radio and streaming

Our pick of the new comedy on TV, radio and streaming this week…:

Sunday March 16

THE GREAT CELEBRITY BAKE OFF FOR STAND UP TO CANCER: In the series opener, Chris and Rosie Ramsey go up against each other while TV presenter Scarlette Douglas squares up to her brother Stuart. Channel 4, 7.40pm

Monday March 17

RICHARD OSMAN’S HOUSE OF GAMES:It's a repeat run of a 2022 week this week in which comic Sarah Kendall has the rather unfair task of going up against Bobby Seagull – the mathematician, former University Challenge contestant and frequent quiz-setter. Completing the line-up is singer-songwriter Jay McGuiness and Birds Of A Feather star Linda Robson BBC Two, 6pm

Tuesday March 18

WAITING FOR WAITING FOR GODOT: Adrian Edmondson returns to Samuel Beckett's Waiting For Godot, with a comic reinterpretation of the play that he's been obsessed with since childhood. He played Estragon to Rik Mayall's Vladimir in a run of the play in London's West End run in 1991 and the pair's sitcom Bottom was inspired by the nihilism. Edmondson has also written this 45-minute comedy, in which he stars alongside Ghosts' Kiell Smith-Bynoe. They play actors halfway through a run of Beckett's play in Manchester exactly five years ago, when Boris Johnson raised the spectre of lockdown. Will the show go on? The person with all the answers hasn't turned up. Radio 4, 2.15pm

LAST ONE LAUGHING: Jimmy Carr hosts the UK version of Prime Video's international hit, in which ten comedians are put into a reality-style house and challenged not to crack up, whatever their colleagues might do. Those taking part in the Amazon show are Bob Mortimer, Daisy May Cooper, Joe Lycett, Judi Love, Rob Beckett, Sara Pascoe, Lou Sanders, Joe Wilkinson, Harriet Kemsley, and Richard Ayoade – while Roisin Conaty acts as Carr's co-host.
