Greg Hemphill talks about writing and starring in a musical version of The Wicker Man.

Still Game star Greg Hemphill talks to the Comedy Cafe about paying homage to iconic horror film The Wicker Man with an all-singing, all-dancing musical stage version!

On a remote Scottish island the lead actor of an am-dram society mysteriously goes missing forcing the group to call on the services of a television cop to investigate. "Still Game" and "Chewin' the Fat" star, Greg Hemphill chats to the Comedy Café about paying homage to iconic horror film 'The Wicker Man' by co-writing and starring in the National Theatre of Scotland's musical stage version, "An Appointment With the Wicker Man". 

From Bin Laden to Pippa Middleton's behind. from London rioters to Rebekah Wade. Telegraph readers aren't reserved with their opinions as this latest edition of unpublished letters proves! Daily Telegraph features writer Iain Hollingshead shares some of his favourite readers responses to world events in his hilarious book, "I Rest My Case."

Surely there's nothing more stressful than dealing with drunk hecklers on stage? But for stand-up Susan Calman making a legitimate complaint can leave her blushing and stammering like a nervous wreck. She bravely put her fears aside to investigate "The Art of Complaining" in a programme for Radio Scotland, and shares her newfound skills with the Comedy Café.
