Award-winning comedian Mark Nelson unlocks the best of the Edinburgh Festival in 2022. Mark and his star team of comedians have been scouring the brochures, posters and venues for the best performers, personalities and shows from the world-famous festival in the capital.

This week Jamie MacDonald chooses life and searches out the best immersive theatre on the fringe. He heads back to the 1990s and becomes part of the show as he's surrounded by Irvine Welsh’s most notorious characters.

Kaye Adams has just announced her appearance on Strictly Come Dancing, so she meets viral sensations The Sugarcoated Sisters to find out how to build momentum for those all important public votes.

The newly crowned queen of all drag queens, Jinkx Monsoon takes five minutes out of her global schedule and lets Mark behind the curtains of her sell-out show.

There’s stand-up from some of Scotland’s finest home-grown talent and Eunice Olumide books herself into festival shows and events that are geared towards creating a calm and serene experience, it’s not all about partying after all.

It’s a packed show which brings you a flavour of what’s happening at the biggest arts festival in the world.
