Unacceptable | First Look

A first look at brand new comedy panel show, Unacceptable, starting on Sunday 5 July at 9pm!

Hosted by Ed Gamble, Unacceptable is the comedy panel show where comedians battle it out to convince the studio audience of their most outrageous opinions. The sort of opinions you post on a WhatsApp group that you hope never see the light of day. Alongside Ed, comedy legends and team captains, Richard Ayoade and Joanne McNally welcome a star-studded line-up of guest comedians onto the show to reveal their wild, unwise or downright unacceptable opinions that the whole team must then defend. Romesh Ranganathan tries to justify paying the Royal family more; Katherine Ryan believes all men should have vasectomies at birth, Ivo Graham attempts to convince us that private school kids need State support and Masie Adams thinks we we should let AI run the world, plus many more. On Unacceptable, what matters is how much you can swing the audience's opinion. Across the show, using a live swingometer, Ed tracks exactly how many audience members they win over with their razor-sharp wit and persuasive punchlines. The goal? Secure the biggest swing in support from the crowd. Ed won't make that easy though, alongside mini games and quick fire opinion rounds, he drags the comics main opinions out into the open in a series of tests, forcing the teams to practice what they preach. Whichever team wins over the most audience in the room, might, unacceptably, win.
