Last week Network Ten announced a new weekly comedy based on hit British panel show A League Of Their Own, to be hosted by Tommy Little.

Now theMusic.com.au can confirm that another new comedy project at Ten called This Week Live, will also involve Little and feature live music performances.

Other comedians earmarked for regular roles on this new show include Dave Thornton, Meshel Laurie and Tom Gleeson.

Producers of the new weekly program are currently scouring for guests to perform in the show's closing musical spot - believed to be planned as stripped-down, acoustic performances.
