Good lord, haven't we all needed a laugh this year? Shout out to all the comedians who have kept us on the right side of despair.

The Greenwich Comedy Festival is always a late-summer treat: a chance to catch top names on a line-up bill, often after they've done boot camp of Edinburgh and before their autumn tours.

This riotous show recorded at Hackney Empire sees comedians Frank Skinner, Tom Allen, London Hughes and Suzi Ruffell invited to perform versions of their favourite songs from musical theatre. Cue numbers from Cats, Frozen and even old favourite Annie, delivered with bad wigs, giggles and panache.
