Janice Forsyth and Sonya Feldhoff of ABC Adelaide, with Julian Clary and Jan Ravens.

Janice Forsyth and co-host Sonya Feldhoff from ABC Adelaide talk to impressionist Jan Ravens, comedians Julian Clary and Jason Manford, and mind-reading showman Colin Cloud.

In a special edition of The Janice Forsyth Show, Janice is joined at the Edinburgh Festivals by co-host Sonya Feldhoff of ABC Radio Adelaide.

Impressionist Jan Ravens tells Janice and Sonya about her show Difficult Woman, and why she's making her Fringe debut at the age of 59.

Julian Clary talks about his latest children's book, The Bolds on Holiday, and Jason Manford chats about stand-up comedy, theatre, acting and recording his forthcoming album of songs from the shows.

Harthill's finest, mind-reader and illusionist Colin Cloud, tries to work out his hosts' deepest secrets.

Two artists from Adelaide, writer and actor Joanne Hartstone, who is in town with her one-woman play The Girl Who Jumped Off the Hollywood Sign, and cabaret singer Carla Lippis, talk about bringing their shows to Edinburgh, and how the Edinburgh and Adelaide Fringes compare.

Young actors from new theatre group The Network, formed for young drama graduates, talk about their play Snowflake. Written by Mark Thomson, former artistic director of Edinburgh's Lyceum Theatre, it's a spotlight on the lives of a fragile generation.

Italian comedian Francesco de Carlo explains why comedy has taken him out of his comfort zone, and shares some insights from his former job as a PR for the European Parliament.

Pauline Goldsmith on resurrecting and reviving her play set at an Irish wake, Bright Colours Only.

Plus the winner of the BBC New Comedy Award Heidi Regan, and music from Edinburgh songwriter Gus Harrower and his band.
