Simon Bird, star of The Inbetweeners and Friday Night Dinner, is going it alone with his latest project - and it's available to watch right now.

Simon - who starred as Will McKenzie in The Inbetweeners and Adam Goodman in Friday Night Dinner - has filmed his first-ever stand-up routine, which is premiering exclusively on Channel 4's streaming service All 4.

The comedian's debut stand-up special, called Debrief, is available to watch now, so if you fancy a laugh this evening, you know what to do.

Debrief, which was recorded at London's Boulevard Theatre last month, sees an undeterred Bird perform his first stand-up show in front of a live audience of 0. Well, at least there'll be no heckling.

Despite the deafening silence of an empty theatre, Simon uses Debrief as an opportunity to take a look at the decade leading up to the UK's response to the coronavius (COVID-19) pandemic.

Covering topics such as nationalism, sexism, the environment, and the NHS, Debrief has been billed as a "comic experiment", in which Simon asks: "Can you even really call yourself a stand-up comedian if you've never heard a single person laugh?"

We'll be laughing, Simon. Not that you'll know otherwise, mind.

Every episode of Friday Night Dinner is currently available to watch on All 4.
