Edinburgh Unlocked

2021

Episode 2

Duration: 28 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Scotland HDLatest broadcast: on BBC Scotland

Award-winning comedian Mark Nelson unlocks the best of the Edinburgh Fringe in 2021. Mark and his star team of comedians have been scouring the brochures, posters and venues for the best performers and shows from this very different festival.

This episode, Mark meets Jack Docherty to talk about his love of the Fringe and his new one-man play that might just be a true story. Rachel Jackson is still skint and single, so she is off to meet the African Groove Machine to see if learning to dance will improve her chances in love.

Jamie MacDonald talks to Queenz - The Show With Balls! to see what he misses out on at a drag show as a blind audience member - he gets right into the spirit of things. Joe Thomas from The Inbetweeners is starting a career in stand up comedy, so Mark goes down to the gardens to teach him a thing or two about heckling, and Jay Lafferty hosts Late'ish'n'Live, this Fringe's version of the most notorious night of all. With performances from Stephen Buchanan and Buff and Sheen. Show less
