Prince Charles is known for his love of comedy, notably The Goon Show. But he's excelled himself with the names he's attracted to his 60th-birthday comedy spectacular, We Are Not Amused.

Taking place in aid of the Prince's Trust on 12 November and showing on ITV1 soon after, the show features John Cleese, Rowan Atkinson (on Gold this Thursday in Blackadder Exclusive: the Whole Rotten Saga) and Robin Williams, all performing live on stage.

Cleese hasn't performed live for two years (in a tour of New Zealand) but promises something special here. Atkinson's one-man sketch will be his first live comedy since 1991. And Williams hasn't been on a UK stage in over 25 years.

So how do you feel about seeing these veteran performers return to live comedy? And with more acts still to be announced, which stand-up comedian would you most like to see make a comeback? Post a comment below.

I saw Atkinson live on stage earlier this year - at the Childish Things charity concert at the New Theatre, Oxford/
