Janice Forsyth presents live from Edinburgh with Bridget Christie, Phill Jupitus and Marcus Brigstocke, plus music from Scottish Album of the Year winner Kathryn Joseph.

Join Janice Forsyth live from the BBC's Edinburgh Festivals venue at Potterrow.

Kathryn Joseph won the Scottish Album of the Year award earlier in the year - she performs live.

Director Annie Ryan and actor Aoife Duffin talk about their stage adaptation of Eimear McBride's novel A Girl Is A Half Formed Thing.

Luke Wright has two shows this year, poetry in Stay At Home Dandy, and his first theatre piece Songs I Learned From Johnny Bevan.

Jessie Cave tells Janice how she's gone from playing Lavender in Harry Potter to an established career as a stand-up comedian and cartoon artist, and Bridget Christie is back in Edinburgh with her tenth show, A Book For Her.

Leith-based songwriter Dean Owens performs some of his music inspired by Johnny Cash. 

Circus is everywhere at this year's Fringe: critic Lucy Ribchester and performers Heather Holliday and Danik Abishev from Limbo talk about the rise of the acrobatic artform - and Heather demonstrates sword-swallowing live on stage.

Plus comedians Marcus Brigstocke and Phill Jupitus, who are each taking on three shows a day, and actor Alan Cox, Phill's co-star in the play Impossible, about the friendship between Arthur Conan Doyle and Harry Houdini.
