Don't Sit in the Front Row

Don't Sit in the Front Row

Description: `Don't Sit in the Front Row' features presenter Jack Dee, who Sky calls `the master of dead pan', and some of Britain's top comics trying to make comedy out of the lives of five members of the public sitting in the front row of the venue. While Dee knows everything about the people sitting in the front row, the performers know nothing about them and must dig into their lives in order to come up with jokes. The more material the front-rowers provide to the comics, the longer they'll last in the competition. Someone from the front row is eliminated at the end of each round, as chosen by the panellists. The last person remaining in the front row at the end of the episode wins the coveted Golden Chair Award.
