Sketch duo Alexander Armstrong and Ben Miller are to reunite to host We Are Most Amused And Amazed, an ITV show to celebrate the 70th birthday of Prince Charles.
The one-off show, which will be recorded at the London Palladium on Monday 22nd October, is set to raise funds for The Prince's Trust.
Rowan Atkinson is also set to perform on stage. Other comedy acts confirmed so far include Bill Bailey, Omid Djalili, Sandi Toksvig, Alistair McGowan and The Play That Goes Wrong creators Mischief Theatre.
ITV confirms: "His Royal Highness turns 70 this year and, in order to celebrate this milestone, ITV Studios and Spun Gold TV will stage this gala event at The London Palladium.
"We Are Most Amused And Amazed promises to be a unique and unforgettable night where the greatest comics join forces with the most accomplished of magicians to celebrate The Prince of Wales' 70th Birthday.
"This one-off event will not only see a cast of comedy giants take to the stage, but will also showcase the best jaw-dropping illusions from the greatest magicians in the business."
The special follows on from We Are Most Amused, a similar 2008 ITV special hosted by Phillip Schofield and John Cleese, which also featured Atkinson, Bailey and Djalili.
Talking about co-hosting this year, Alexander Armstrong says: "This is going to be a night from the very toppermost drawer. What a colossal honour it is to be hosting such a dazzling line-up for HRH and best of all I'll be alongside my lovely old friend Ben thingy."
Ben Miller adds: "Alexander Armstrong and I are delighted to be hosting Prince Charles' favourite comedians and magicians at the Palladium, and all in a very good cause: relaunching our comedy careers. And raising a few quid for the Prince's Trust of course."

The line-up also includes magicians Penn & Teller and Dynamo, with ITV adding that "more incredible talent" has yet to be announced.
The filmed show will be edited down to a 2 hour TV broadcast, which will be shown on ITV later this year.
