Instead, they put on a live show to be just as serious as ever, in the company of regular guest Eshaan Akbar, MP (and possible future Prime Minister...?) Liz Truss, and Doctor Professor Jordan B. Peterson. Between them, they cover issues like Liz's alternative budget, Jordan's alternative university, and Eshaan's alternative career.With thanks to Rosie Holt, Brendan Murphy, Eshaan Akbar, Susan Harrison, Will Sebag-Montefiore and Ed Morrish.Rosie's play, Churchill's Urinal, is on at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe (tickets here), where she is also doing a new character comedy/stand-up show, The Illegal Aliens Have Landed (tickets here).Brendan also at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with Indy, a three-man retelling of Indiana Jones, and tickets are available here.Eshaan has started a new podcast called Adda With Eshaan which you can hear here, and contribute to here.

Playwright John Kolvenbach has directed his own play Stand Up If You're Here Tonight in productions in Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Paris, and now the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and he discusses how putting the play on its feet on the stage helps complete his work of writing it on the page. John shares how directing your own play isn't for everyone; how much of it is simply being a control freak; how much directing the script helps the writing process; how, to quote Edward Albee, one's play is never as good as one's idea of the play; how this play is fascinatingly (and maddeningly) hard to describe; how one must embrace the quality of madness in one's writing; how your audience will tell you what your play is; and whether it's possible to write like a director or direct like an actor. ALSO: an unexpected – and perfectly timed – crash of recycled bottles! (Length 19:53) The post Playwrights Who Direct appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.

Professional puppeteer and clown Michelle Stein joins the podcast to chat about her 15-year career and her solo show Always Sometimes Maybe at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. We dive deep into the rich history of alternative theatre, the art of physical comedy, and why the Fringe has shifted from a haven for eccentric artists into an expensive party for the elite. Plus, we debate the merits of Chicago deep-dish pizza and plug The Pieces—a spectacular circus show performing at the Underbelly Circus Hub.

Strait of Hormuz latest: No deal has been reached yet on the re-opening, as Iran and Oman want tolls for safe passage; President Trump says that is unacceptable (but thinks it's okay if the US charges safety tariffs).

The Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2026 series Elaine chats with Katherina Radeva about her new show 40/40. Which is on in the second half of this year's fringe. 40/40 Dancebase, Studio 3 Dates: 18 - 23 August Time: 14:30 (50 mins) 40/40 Kat is a woman (has been for quite a while now). She is a migrant (since 1999) from the Thracian Valley in Bulgaria. In April 2022, surrounded by family and friends, she turned 40. The critically acclaimed, international touring sensation 40/40 returns to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026, celebrating four years of dance, joy and celebration travelling across Europe. Part of the Made in Scotland Showcase 2026, this inspiring, insightful and moving show honours Katherina Radeva's 40 years as a woman, a migrant and an artist. Kat has always danced, but she has never called herself a dancer, until now. Claiming space on the dance floor, she writes stories of her past, present and future – in speech, electrical tape, and in movement. From childhood gymnastics classes and body shaming, to migrancy and moving to the UK at 16, Kat puts it all on the floor. A creative who refuses to be categorised, through choreography we see all the joys and sorrows of Radeva's 40 years in this life affirming piece of radical movement. 40/40 is a celebration of women's - especially women over 40's - strength, labour, hard work, joys and sadnesses. Kat interweaves open, honest audio voice overs with great tunes - including the Eurythmics Sweet Dreams are Made of These, Nick Cave's Rings of Saturn, and more - and great dance moves to create a truly joyful space. Join the middle-aged woman revolution by dancing, claiming and reclaiming the beautiful, glorious and messy complexities of womanhood.

It's the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2026 series Elaine chats with pervious guest and friend of the pod - writer Emery Schaffer about her new play BearGirl. BEARGIRL Assembly Roxy, Roxy Boxy Dates: Wednesday 5th - Monday 31st August 2026 Time: 4:20pm (60 mins) BearGirl Bear suits, bereavement, and big scary feelings...oh my. Premiering at this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe is BearGirl - an empowering drama about animal costumes, grief and feminist rage, written by Emery Schaffer (We Used to be Girl Scouts, MONUMENTAL) and directed by Kate Stamoulis. Inspired by Anton Checkhov's The Bear, Bear Girl is a new play about love and hate, desire and guilt, reclaiming yourself when it's all been stripped away, and attempting to make peace with the beast within. Struggling to cope with the death of her husband, a grief-stricken widow unexpectedly finds comfort whilst wearing an oddly sentimental bear suit that reminds her of her lost love. From that day, Bear Girl is born: an unfeeling, thick-skinned beast of a woman who doesn't care that you're staring at her, because she's not really there. Meshing a complicated love affair with the shock of sudden loss, Schaffer's play explores the complex web of weighty emotions that lay within every human going through the worst moment of their life- and what happens when we lose all control of how we ‘should' behave… and start giving into our primal instincts.

Geoffrey Asmus is a stand-up comedian. Since he began comedy in 2013, Geoffrey has steadily ascended the comedy ranks. He was selected as a New Face at Just For Laughs Montreal and has featured on FOX's Laughs and Kevin Hart's LOL Network. Fresh from a sell-out US tour, he has opened for Daniel Sloss, Sam Morril, Ari Shaffir, Mark Normand, Dan Soder and Dave Attell. In 2021, Geoffrey released his debut album Prodigal Little Bitch through 800lb Gorilla Records, which reached number one on iTunes and continues to receive national airplay on SiriusXM. He has since released three stand-up specials, including Cancel Culture Isn't Real with Don't Tell Comedy, The Only Funny White Man, and most recently 63 Minutes of Great Comedy, available on YouTube, where his unfiltered stand-up clips have attracted a rapidly growing audience. He is set to perform his first full run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe following an acclaimed one-night appearance in 2025 (British Comedy Guide's 6th Best Live Comedy Show 2025), bringing an hour of pure, unfiltered stand-up to audiences this summer. He also regularly tours around the US (tickets below). Packed wall-to-wall with sharp jokes, tightly honed routines, and a constant, playful push at the line, this is stand-up with no frills, no overarching narrative, no confessional detours, just relentless, high-quality comedy, peppered with spontaneous audience interaction and delivered with precision. While there is alight thread touching on American history, politics and the slow decline of empire, this is not a show about those things. We discuss being a quiz bowl legend, bad bombs, getting Just For laughs and what happened during, ethos on new material, starting out in Chicago, comedy community & support, being humbled, re-finding his love of comedy, finding your people, being vouched for, nerves, bad reviews + more!

Edinburgh in August during the Festival Fringe means crowded streets, shifting queues, and venues that pop up overnight.

Michael Doherty and Will Mobley return to talk about the continuing adventures of their very funny buddy comedy Dogberry & Verges Are Scared, which runs at Cincinnati Shakespeare Company through July 25, 2026, and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe from August 5-30, 2026 (with the RSC's own Austin Tichenor as Verges). Doherty and Mobley share how the play just keeps getting sharper and tighter; how the clowning manages to also provide insight into Shakespeare's characters and the plays from which they came; how audiences are surprised to encounter unexpected humanity; how it's inspired by Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead; the difference between watching the show from the audience and living inside the words as a cast member; how both authors lead from the codpiece; and the the vital importance of combining silly comedy with heart and humanity. (Length 22:23) (PICTURED, above: Anthony Lawton as Verges, Michael Doherty as Dogberry in the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company production of Dogberry & Verges Are Scared, directed by Matthew Decker, 2026.
