Grant Stott brings you the best of the Edinburgh Festivals.

Grant Stott is joined at the Edinburgh festivals by actor Frances Barber, comedians Jason Byrne and Jayde Adams, and impressionists Ronni Ancona and Lewis Macleod.

Grant Stott brings you the best of all the festivals on The Edinburgh Show. Joining him today:

Jason Byrne, the Festival Fringe's top selling comedian, back for his 23rd year with his show Wrecked but Ready.

Ian Shaw, son of actor Robert Shaw, discussing his play, The Shark is Broken - based on the filming of Jaws.

Impressionists Ronni Ancona and Lewis Macleod demonstrate their vocal abilities – as featured in their show Just Checking In.

Comedian Jayde Adams gives us her take on the concept of the 'independent woman' which she explores in her show, The Ballad of Kylie Jenner's Old Face. 

We hear about Paradise Lodge- a musical comedy set in a care home, based on writer Steve Cooper's experience of caring for his mother-in-law as she lived with dementia.

We have film reviews of the biggest new releases this weekend, Blinded by the Light and The Art of Racing in the Rain, plus there's music from New Zealand in the form of musical comedy duo, Two Hearts, and the Modern Maori Quartet.
