Episode 3

Unlock the best of the Edinburgh Festival with award-winning comedian Mark Nelson, bringing you the best comedy, music, cabaret and theatre from all over the world. Mark and his all-star team of reporters have scoured the brochures to find you the funniest, wildest and weirdest shows from the capital in this month-long extravaganza of chaos.

This episode, Mark meets one of the country’s biggest comedy stars, Jack Whitehall, who returns to the Fringe to get back to his stand-up roots before heading out on an UK-wide tour.

The festival can be a bit overwhelming for some people, so we found Ashley Storrie a quiet spot to hide away from all of the kerfuffle, where she’s joined by Felicity Ward, Grace Campbell, Amanda Dwyer and a very special festival guest.

Kate Hammer completes her festival hat-trick with a search for rising stars in Scottish comedy, and what better way to find the best than to race them to the top... of Blackford Hill? Looking over the whole city, who will triumph and claim the trophy?

Rosco McClelland is checking his contract, because we’ve sent him to learn how to dance around poles. It’s not what he expected, but what he discovers is a beautiful performance from the heart of the Grassmarket.

Len Pennie finds delight in Tongue Twisters, there’s more one-liner jokes for you to share with your friends, and Mark ends his festival with an eye-opening trip to the cult hit of this year’s Fringe - Stamptown.
