UberComedy will see comics Stephen Bailey, Lou Saunders, John Robertson, Grainne Maguire, Trevor Lock and Will Franken take rides in the back of London-based Uber cars from 2-5pm.

During this time, lucky users of the transport app who request UberPool - the new service that lets passengers share their journeys for a cheaper rate - will be treated to a personal comedy show as they travel to their destination.

The campaign will be amplified on social media through the hashtag #NoMoreAwkwardSilences - a nod to the occasional awkwardness that comes from sharing a ride with a stranger.
