Comedy Cuts takes the very best rising starlets from the comedy circuit and delivers the cream of their material to an audience hungry to discover the next big thing. The programme features over 50 dynamic performers who demonstrate a mix of stand up and sketches.

Annette Cadabra opens the second episode of Comedy Cuts. She is the perfect magician’s assistant – young, glamorous, naïve and bendy. Tonight she fulfils one of her lifelong ambitions when she appears in Magic Steve’s Disappearing Act. She attempts to painfully decapitate her head from her body using a guillotine. However, eventually she has to enlist some help from members of the public.

“Rob Rouse’s cartoon face and cheeky banter allow him to get away with murder,” writes The Independent. In tonight’s episode, Rob is dressed as a security guard and explains how Big Brother is racist against Geordies. Additionally, the audience witness an excellent impersonation of the Dragon’s Den contestants, presenter and judges.

Slow-talking Welshman Rhod Gilbert is in court having been arrested for stalking. He pleads guilty, but assures the judge he will not be participating in anymore stalking activities. He explains how he didn’t really enjoy his time spent as a stalker as “your life is not your own when you are stalking people!�

Glenn Wool continues his political tirade in episode two and tonight he claims that reality TV is the root of all evil. According to Glenn, it is the cause of every poor political decision that has ever been made, as well as teaching mindless idiots how to vote.

Nicky Doody supported the late Bill Hicks on his final tour of the UK – at Bill’s personal request. Since then his razor sharp style and satirical content has made him one of the brightest talents on the comedy circuit. Tonight Nick explains his hatred for the English nation’s incapability to pronounce the letter ‘H’ correctly. He also speaks of George W Bush’s incorrect pronunciation of the word nuclear which is quite worrying!

Jim Jeffries closes the show this week. Jim’s remarkable ability to simultaneously charm and offend his audience leaves everyone feeling entertained, but knowing deep down they should be completely outraged and ashamed. And Jim’s appearance on Comedy Cuts is no different. He immediately offends anyone mildly religious when he dons a pair of fluffy angel wings and delivers a shocking sermon from a church pulpit, whilst drinking beer.

Comedy Cuts airs on ITV2 on Thursday 25 January 11:15 PM to 11:45 PM
