Live at the Edinburgh Festival: Brendon Burns and Pappy's Fun Club

Former geography teacher and So You Think You're Funny? prize-winner Rob Rouse is up first today. He tells us why comedy audiences are less stressful than pupils, then shares a little more than we really need to know about his randy dog.

After a nice homemade sketch from Domestic Goddi, Mr Droll himself, Alun Cochrane, pops in. He tells Miles why he's called his new show Daydreamer – especially when he's staying up late every night at the Stand.

Canadian standup Pete Johansson, who's playing at the Underbelly, shares some images from his life and tells Miles why he thinks Edinburgh has everything a man needs.

The reliably full-on Brendon Burns ruled Edinburgh two years ago, picking up the if.comedy award, and is back in town for a very limited number of shows. He sits down for a quiet cup of tea and a scone with Miles before threatening to slap the audience with – well, you'd better listen for yourself.

The irrepressible Pappy's Fun Club are winning rave reviews for their record-breaking attempt to squeeze 200 sketches into an hour. They allow you to sample their wares, with a little number called Samuel Pepys Show.

If you're in Edinburgh, we want to see you! Make sure you come to one of our recordings, every weekday at noon at the Gilded Balloon, Teviot Square. Entrance is free but you need a ticket - go to the Fringe box office, or the venue, or call 0131-622 6552.
