Jo Caulfield presents a special programme about comedy storytelling in Scotland.

Jo Caulfield talks about bringing comedy storytelling to Scotland after being inspired by the New York clubs where comedians, writers, magicians and musical acts tell true stories.

Jo Caulfield presents a special Comedy Cafe programme about modern storytelling events where comedians, writers, performers, magicians and musicians come together to tell true stories.

Comedy writer and stand-up comedian Keir McAllister joins Jo live to talk about leaving the comfort zone of the comedy club where tall tales are told and wildly exaggerated and tells a very personal story of turning his back on religion to a new audience.

Grant Stott talks about the relationship between radio presenting and telling stories; and we hear from musicians, storytellers and comedians.

Anti-folk New York musician Lach shares his own storytelling experiences and performs his own kind of folk music storytelling live on the show.
