British TV show from the Seventies (later reprised in the Eighties) which gave a stage to nightclub and working mens' club comedians of the era, including Stan Boardman, Frank Carson, and Bernard Manning, who compered the show. It was made by Granada TV.

The comedy frequently took the form of anecdotes or jokes and frequently involved racist or sexist stereotypes.
