BBC Radio 4 - Feedback, 23/08/2013

A special edition of Feedback recorded at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Why commission Marmite comedy? And is it ok to be offensive? These questions and more in a special edition of Feedback recorded at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

In the last programme in this series of Feedback, we bring you a special edition devoted to one of the most divisive radio subjects - comedy.

Recorded in front of an audience at the Edinburgh Fringe, Roger Bolton puts questions from listeners in the room and at home to a panel of comedy movers and shakers.

Roger is joined on stage by Radio 4 Commissioning Editor Caroline Raphael - the woman who decides what's funny enough for Radio 4 and by comedian Marcus Brigstocke, who can be heard across BBC radio in programmes like the Now Show and The Brig Society, as well as radio producer Colin Anderson and the Head of Radio for BBC Scotland, Jeff Zycinski.

There will also be some fringe talent in the form of performance poet Mark Niel and hotly-tipped newcomer Michael Fabbri.

Producer: Kevin Dawson
A Whistledown Production for BBC Radio 4.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
