Graham Norton Variety Show: When is the one-off special event, will it be on television and who is taking part - including Joe Lycett

The chat show host will be welcoming some of the biggest stars in entertainment to the stage this weekend.

Joe Lycett will be one of the stars making an appearance at the Graham Norton Variety Show.

Traditionally held annually in the Canadian city of Montreal since 1983, the Just For Laughs comedy festival is spreading its wings this year and heading for London.

Taking place over four days, it will have everything from intimate club shows to enormous arena gigs - along with podcast recordings, ‘In Conversation’ events, cast panels and plenty more.

One of the headline events that has got people talking is Graham Norton’s return to live comedy - he first broke through at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe before landing the BBC chat show in 2007 for which he is now best known.

Here’s everything you need to know.
