BBC Radio Scotland - The Afternoon Show, From the Edinburgh Festival

Grant's guests include Rev Richard Coles, Justin Moorhouse, Jen Brister, Sweet Tango.

Grant Stott is at the Edinburgh Festivals and his guests include Rev Richard Coles, Justin Moorhouse, Jen Brister, Sweet Tango and the cast of Private Peaceful.

Comedian Justin Moorhouse (Phoenix Nights) talks to Grant about overturning stereotypes for Northern English comics by being a vegan teetotaller.

The Reverend Richard Coles talks about his Edinburgh Fringe show, Confessions, a hour of candid chat and confessions with special guests and celebrity friends.

Stand up Jen Brister discusses her show, Meaningless, which covers everything from having her mother living with her to the challenges of bringing up her small twin sons.

There's tango music performed on traditional Korean instruments from Sweet Tango, postmodern swing music from The Fly Boys-  and Michael Griffiths gives us a flavour of his show based on the songs of Kylie Minogue.

And we have deeply moving theatre from Private Peaceful, the production based on the much-loved Michael Morpurgo story.
