Unacceptable is a new fast-paced comedy panel show, hosted by award-winning stand-up comedian, writer and podcaster Ed Gamble, where comedians battle it out to convince the studio audience of some downright outrageous opinions.

Alongside Ed, comedy legends and team captains, Richard Ayoade and Joanne McNally welcome a star-studded line-up of guest comedians onto the show. This series, they include Maisie Adam, Sam Campbell, Ania Magliano, Judi Love, Nish Kumar, Ellie Taylor, Jake Lambert, Seann Walsh, Sara Pascoe, Lucy Beaumont and Joel Dommett.

Each episode, Joanne and Richard are joined by two guest comics to their teams who reveal one daft, wild or unwise opinion. The whole team hears the opinion for the first time and are then forced to defend it with gusto.

Also up for the challenge are Vittorio Angelone, Chloe Petts, Josh Jones, Janine Harouni, Rhys James, Guz Khan, Desiree Burch, Catherine Bohart, Phil Wang, Harriet Kemsley, Dara O Briain, David O'Doherty, Fatiha El-Ghorri, Aisling Bea and Olga Koch.

The totally unacceptable opinions will be tested by the studio audience twice, who vote before and after the argument. Using a live swingometer, Ed tracks exactly how many audience members the top comics win over with their razor-sharp wit and persuasive punchlines. The goal? Secure the biggest swing in support from the crowd.
