Film star and record-breaking comedian Omid Djalili tells stories from his early days in the Fringe, including being a taxi driver for his comedian friends, which eventually changed his career forever.

Blind comedian Jamie MacDonald returns with his unique perspective on the Fringe and steps into the Globe of Death to really experience one of the most extreme circus shows.

Supermodel, actor, DJ, environmentalist and first-time comedian Eunice Olumide meets stand-ups Hal Cruttenden and Lucy Porter to get their top tips for surviving the long month ahead.

There’s comedy from some of Scotland’s best, including Susan Riddell, Marc Jennings and Connor Burns, and Raymond Mearns picks up some unlikely passengers in his double-decker bus as he drives through the festival.
