We're at the penultimate show of the current run at The Museum of Comedy and we're joined by the fantastic Hal Cruttenden, who tells us about the time he (technically) broke the law to stop a crime, which also shows some unlikely bad cop credentials. The team then gets involved with a case involving a couple called 'Colin and Mary' - and how often can you say THAT? Finally, a member of the audience shares some impressive skills at thief shaming and probably making them rethink their life on the wrong side of the tracks!

Today, we welcome a comedian and TV host who has taken a brilliantly simple idea for a show - funny people trying to complete funny tasks - and turned it into a global phenomenon. And it's all been thanks to not taking yourself, or life, too seriously: it's comedian, TV host and author, Alex Horne!Alex joins us from, you guessed it, the Taskmaster house for a chat about how the show's gone from an idea at the Edinburgh Fringe to sold-out theatre shows, global adaptations and eighteen series of hilarious TV. Plus, we hear more about Alex's life away from the funniest throne in TV - from the importance of making time for loved ones to men trying to be a bit more open and how plenty of life's best lessons come from failure. Plus, we frantically work out a plan for his debut Glastonbury performance NEXT WEEK!For all the latest news, click here to follow us on Instagram!***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

Today, Hannah and Taylor are joined by podcaster and presenter Remel London, who came to DWSC HQ brimming with theories for a delicious sounding - if carb heavy - case of a legendary Victorian character who if alive today would be enjoying sell out runs at the Edinburgh Festival.* Remel also shares a story from her childhood in which her mother wasted no time in pointing the finger at a potential suspect, why let 'evidence' be a factor if you've got a hunch?

One-Act Play Collections - Book 10, Part 1 Title: One-Act Play Collections - Volume 10 Overview: The tenth volume of one-act plays in the public domain is read by a variety of LibriVox members. A one-act play is a play that has only one act and is distinct from plays that occur over several acts. One-act plays may consist of one or more scenes. The 20-40 minute play has emerged as a popular subgenre of the one-act play, especially in writing competitions. One-act plays make up the overwhelming majority of Fringe Festival shows including at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The origin of the one-act play may be traced to the very beginning of recorded Western drama: in ancient Greece, Cyclops, a satyr play by Euripides, is an early example. The satyr play was a farcical short work that came after a trilogy of multi-act serious drama plays. A few notable examples of one-act plays emerged before the 19th century including various versions of the Everyman play and works by Moliere and Calderon. One act plays became more common in the 19th century and is now a standard part of repertory theatre and fringe festivals.

Tom Mills and Dan Hind talk to us about their work on what a functioning BBC might look like, and how that's less about finding the exact right political balance (any day now, surely!) and more about ownership structure and material factors. In the first half, we are once again overtaken by events, as this seems to be another “week where decades happen” in global politics.

Sam Nicoresti: Self-Expression, Identity & the Hunt for the Perfect Skirt SuitIn this introspective and fun-filled episode, Steve Otis Gunn sits down with comedian and writer Sam Nicoresti for a conversation that winds its way through comedy, culture, and surreal nostalgia. Known for their clever, genre-bending comedy and a flair for philosophical riffs, Sam brings nuance and wit to everything from trans politics to the demise of Blockbuster, weaving personal experience with cultural critique in a way that's as thought-provoking as it is hilarious. From probing selfhood and societal labels to skewering podcast culture, Sam shows how comedy is the sharpest tool for exploring—and exploding—identity.Subjects include:What makes a “special” specialHow HMV pivoted away from physical media and adapted to the digital ageWhy true crime is the new voyeurism, and podcasts might well be to blameThe constraints of class and the claustrophobic architecture of social housingWhy something as simple as needing the loo can become a gendered battlegroundAn amusing and surprising listen, this episode is a must for fans of stand-up comedy, social commentary, and anyone curious about how comedy reflects the oddities of modern life.

Tonight we mark Women Veterans Day, which is observed annually on June 12 to commemorate the signing of the Women's Armed Services Integration Act into law by President Truman in 1948. This act allowed women to serve permanently in the regular armed forces.  To help us honor this anniversary, we invite playwright Ash Singer, whose recent documentary theater play, ​In Their Footsteps brings to life the true stories of five American women—two military officers and three civilian volunteers—who served during the Vietnam War. Joining Ash will be Ann Kelsey, whose story is dramatized in the play, along with other women featured. Developed from in-depth oral histories, the script captures their poignant, humorous, and harrowing experiences, shedding light on the often-overlooked contributions of women in wartime. ​The performance immerses audiences in the personal narratives of Ann Kelsey, Judy Jenkins Gaudino, Doris “Lucki” Allen, Jeanne “Sam” Christie, and Lily Adams. Through innovative staging and modular set pieces that transform into various wartime settings—such as bunkers, rooftops, and military vehicles—the play delves into themes of service, resilience, and the psychological toll of war, including issues like sexual harassment and PTSD. ​ Since its initial workshop in New York City in 2017, In Their Footsteps has had an impressive run:​ 2018: Featured in the East to Edinburgh Festival at 59E59 Theaters in NYC and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland. 2019: Performed at the BorderLight International Fringe Festival in Cleveland, Ohio, and at the Women's Overseas Service League annual conference in San Antonio, Texas. 2020–2021: Adapted into a Zoom production and a radio play in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, expanding its reach to schools and veteran organizations. 2021: Presented at the OnStage! Festival in Milan and Rome, Italy.​ The production is set to return in Fall 2025 with a new run at the Bronx Music Hall, offering an even more immersive experience. Plans are also underway for a 2025–26 tour of New York City schools and a multi-city U.S. tour, aiming to engage diverse audiences through performances, discussions, and educational workshops. ​ In 2020, IVP collaborated with WLIW-FM to produce a radio adaptation of In Their Footsteps, which premiered on NPR station 88.3 WLIW-FM Long Island. This adaptation, titled “Revisiting ‘In Their Footsteps' in Honor of Dr. ‘Lucki' Allen,” earned a 2025 Gracie Award for Excellence in Radio Programming. The Gracie Awards, presented by the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation, honor exemplary programming created by, for, and about women.The radio play features authentic soundscapes and the voices of the original women, providing listeners with an intimate and powerful portrayal of their experiences. It serves as a testament to the enduring impact of these women's stories and the importance of preserving their legacy through various media. ​ For more information or to listen to the radio play, visit WLIW-FM's website.

Comedian, writer, and actor, Jessica Knappett, talks to Gabby about how making people laugh by accident at a school cello recital was her first foray into comedy, and they swap stories from performing at the Edinburgh Fringe in their student days. Jessica is also very honest about some of the darker realities she has had to confront over the course of her career in comedy. She also chats about living in Los Angeles and her decision to move back to West Yorkshire, as well as accepting the realities of being a working parent - it's a work in progress! As you'd expect, this episode is full of laughs about everything from communes to perfect days, growing cress to parenting hacks.Warning: There are some references to sexual assault in this episode.

One-Act Play Collections - Book 8, Part 2 Title: One-Act Play Collections - Volume 8 Overview: Librivox's One-Act Play Collection 8 includes one-act plays in the public domain read by a variety of LibriVox members. A one-act play is a play that has only one act and is distinct from plays that occur over several acts. One-act plays may consist of one or more scenes. The 20-40 minute play has emerged as a popular subgenre of the one-act play, especially in writing competitions. One-act plays make up the overwhelming majority of Fringe Festival shows including at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The origin of the one-act play may be traced to the very beginning of recorded Western drama: in ancient Greece, Cyclops, a satyr play by Euripides, is an early example. The satyr play was a farcical short work that came after a trilogy of multi-act serious drama plays. A few notable examples of one-act plays emerged before the 19th century including various versions of the Everyman play and works by Moliere and Calderon. One act plays became more common in the 19th century and is now a standard part of repertory theatre and fringe festivals.

Welcome to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where over 3,000 shows from 58 countries converge at 265 venues, offering a vibrant mix of theatre, comedy, dance, and more. This year, the programme is brimming with diverse performances that promise to captivate attendees, whether they're fans of drama, mystery, or musicals.

There is truly something for everyone, from must-see classics to daring new works. The Space UK, with its 18 theatres across six venues, continues to support both emerging and established artists. Whether you're crafting an elaborate plan or just wandering the streets, this festival invites you to embrace the unexpected. Immerse yourself in the innovative spirit of physical theatre, such as "Soul to Soul" and "Bella's Ballerinas," or feel the magic in "One Moment in Time." The Edinburgh Fringe is your canvas, and whether you choose to sample a wide array of genres or stick to your favorites, every moment is guaranteed to be a unique experience.

What is the worst thing that could ever happen to a journalist? So begins the twisty, compelling and deliciously seductive Bring The House Down, Charlotte Runcie's debut novel and, officially, the most fun book Alice Vincent has read in years. Which is why she insisted that Char sit down and put up with her enthusiastic grilling of her about her sensational novel.This week marks the long-awaited publication of Bring The House Down, a modern revenge novel set at the Edinburgh Fringe, in which a morally dubious critic damns a one-woman show - only to have a one-night-stand with its creator hours afterwards.In response, scorned woman Hayley transforms her performance into a one-star review of his life, dredging up every bad thing Alex has ever done. The result is a novel that cleverly interrogates criticism, cancel culture and online discourse, while offering up some brilliant gags in the process.Today we celebrate Bring The House Down and Charlotte, and talk about her process behind the book - as well as the reality of writing it in six weeks after abandoning two other works in progress.You'd be very well-advised to buy your copy of Bring The House Down here.In Haste is hosted by Alice Vincent and Charlotte Runcie, and is produced by Holly Fisher for Hasty Productions.

Renowned for her thoughtful humour, Chelsea offers a fresh perspective on everything from the rooftops of Milton Keynes to the existential undertones of reality TV. Together, they navigate the intriguing intersections of comedy, illusion, and the comfort of not always knowing.

Topics touched on include:Skater energy, angular architecture, and the symbolism of Milton KeynesMagic, mind games, and the card trick that broke her brainThe urgency of watching The Traitors and The Kardashians close to transmissionCreating comedy before the spark fadesBrainrot, generational slang, and why Googling ruins everythingWhether you're deep into stand-up, reality TV, or the kind of person who still doesn't understand how vinyl records work—and prefers it that way—this one's for you.

Greg surprised a bunch of the Moore Student Radio team with a celebrity guest during a tour of the Radio 1 Big Weekend studio in Liverpool. They had no clue Miley was about to appear live on screen. They didn't believe it was the real Miley Cyrus. There were a lot of emotional Hannah Montana fans in the room. Introducing Becky the Wasp Biologist. She wrote a song for the Edinburgh Fringe from the perspective of a wasp and we have the exclusive first play on Radio 1. Becky says they are misunderstood and she's rooting for all wasps. Apparently she's got a catalogue of songs about wasps. Watch this space. You heard it here first. Katie Thistleton and Vick Hope are off on maternity leave this summer so Jamie's wife Sophie is joining him on Radio 1 in the afternoons. She thinks she's the only person on the planet who can put up with him for 3 hours a day every day. It's live so wish them luck. Greg flossed his teeth with Charlie Hedges hair when they hugged at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Liverpool. Not weird at all. Now that's out there let's get on with ThursWAAAAHAAY business. What's making you wahhaahhhaay today? It's clumsy runner Nat's turn on Yesterday's Quiz. She wants to beat her husband Marcus, which TBH is a low bar. Flop Flips is probably the best answer to the question – what are flip flops called in Australia. (It's thongs). No spoilers here for All The Latest Things. IYKYK.
