Tough Gig gives a comedian just one week to prepare for a stand-up performance in front of a whole new crowd. For example, in one episode Shaun Williamson (aka "Barry from EastEnders") must make the world of high fashion laugh - an industry he knows very little about. He spends a week at the fashion shows to try and find the jokes that'll crack a smile from the fashion pack - but how will they take to his humour at the end-of-show performance?
