Janice Forsyth celebrates the comedy scene in Scotland and abroad. How do comedians mine their own lives and the lives of families and friends for their act.

In this Zone the choice of extracts range almost a hundred years, from the films of Charlie Chaplin, to the fresh faced youth of Daniel Sloss and Ross 'Teddy' Craig.
