What to expect
The final three scurrilous series of the award-winning comedy show
For over 25 years, The Now Show amused the nation with topical stand-up, sketches and songs, before bringing the comedy to a close at the end of Series 64. But now, you can re-live the final three sparkling series, as Steve Punt, Hugh Dennis and special guests take aim at the headlines for the final time.
Bringing their quips, quick wit and a quiver full of satirical arrows are comedians including Laura Lexx, Ian Smith, Sarah Keyworth, Olga Koch, Janine Harouni, Ahir Shah, Alex Kealy and Helen Bauer. Rhys James presents his foolproof guide to surviving the cost-of-living crisis; Daliso Chaponda discusses the big problem of small boat crossings; Laura Smyth navigates her way through all the strikes and Ken Cheng uses air fryers to help explain his frustration with the housing market.
There’s also music from Beardyman, who sings about the upcoming robot apocalypse; Jess Robinson, with a song inspired by Gwyneth Paltrow's 'slalom witch trial'; Jazz Emu, who’s auditioning to be the in-flight entertainment on Elon Musk's 'SpaceX and Rachel Parris, who gives us her musical take on what’s truly scary at Halloween.
So sit back and enjoy the freewheeling fun, as the team give us their sensational swansong in these 18 hilarious episodes.
