Unlock the best of the 2023 Edinburgh Festival with award-winning comedian Mark Nelson. Mark and his star team of comedians have been scouring the brochures, posters and venues for the best performers, personalities and shows from the world-famous festival.

In this episode, Mark meets Frank Skinner, a statesman of the Fringe who won the big comedy prize back in 1991, beating Jack Dee, Eddie Izzard and Lily Savage. Frank shares memories of his formative years as a stand-up and why he keeps coming back to Edinburgh to perform.

Blind comedian Jamie MacDonald is back to give his unique perspective on the brightest, loudest and most flamboyant shows he can find, kicking the series off with a bang as he gets a ticket for an explosive show.

With live comedy from some of Scotland’s most exciting comedians, and plenty of surprises from an international cast of performers, every inch of Edinburgh is now a stage ready to make the crowds laugh, cry, sing and dance, and you won’t miss a second of it. Show less
