Comedy from the heart of the Edinburgh Fringe. Live stand-up, interviews, music, features, dirty gossip and more from the Pleasance Courtyard and Pleasance Dome.
This Rebranded and relaunched Pleasance Comedy Podcast is a daily show with clips from live 2017 shows. We want you to come down and soak up the atmosphere, and this magazine style show will let you feel like you're already here. Now in it's seventh year, this isn't an hour long conversation with one comedian. This is fast paced, cram them in, when's the next show, can you get us tickets for this, who's hot, who said what, what do you mean it's only day four??? That's a difference, not a dig Dr Buckles.
Previous guests include everyone from Josh Widdecombe to Cariad Lloyd, Reginald D. Hunter to Sara Pascoe, Eddie Izzard to Trevor Noah, Lucy Porter and Ed Byrne to Susan Calman and Jonathan Pie to Tom Allen and Mark Watson. Plus names you don't know. That's the point. You'll love it.
