Janice Forsyth is in Edinburgh with Eilish O'Connell from Mrs Brown's Boys and Bo Burnham.

Janice Forsyth presents live from Edinburgh and is joined by Eilish O'Connell of Mrs Brown's Boys and comedian Bo Burnham. Plue she has music from jazz singer Clare Teal.

Janice Forsyth presents from the Edinburgh festivals with a live audience in the BBC's Blue Tent.

First guest on the sofas today is funny woman Eilish O'Carroll, famous for her role as Winnie in Mrs Brown's Boys. She talks about her confessional one woman show at the Fringe.

Janice immerses herself in Anoesis - a new play about the experience of formal education, success and failure performed by young actors fresh from the exam room themselves.

Plus a comedy about two middle-aged rock and rollers returning to Tokyo 21 years after topping the charts - only this time they have extra baggage - that's Bite The Bullet starring Sandy Nelson and Keith Warwick.

Andrew Graham Dixon discusses the criminal genius that was artist Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, and comedian Ben Van Der Velde talks about the almost lost art of letter writing - the respective themes of their Fringe shows.

And Youtube sensation Bo Burnham is back to wow Edinburgh audiences with his new show 'What'.

Plus music from UK Jazz sensation Clare Teal, Oxford's all male a capella group Out Of The Blue, and songs about the end from Dead Man's Waltz.
