Live at the Edinburgh Festival: Reginald D Hunter and Susan Calman

Cowboy philosopher Wilson Dixon kicks off today's show, arriving in Edinburgh all the way from Cripple Creek in Colorado. He delivers a song inspired by his illiterate, ambidextrous uncle. Yee-haw!

Next, Miles finds himself with The Last Woman on Earth: Susan Calman. Her special talent? She can stand up straight in the back of a black cab. Susan recently hung out at the Amnesty International gig in Edinburgh – go backstage and hear what she chatted to Richard Herring, Shappi Khorsandi, Colin and Fergus and Rob Rouse about.

Matt Harvey describes himself as "the enemy of all things difficult and upsetting". We call him "not only funny, but tender and true". Get a taster of his show, Wondermentalist.

Reginald D Hunter tells Miles why he's feeling good and how Edinburgh is like "exams for clowns". Reginald is particularly unimpressed by Mr Jupp's street talk.

Finally, Felicity Ward tries valiantly to talk as deeply as Reginald and shares her memories of being Ugly As a Child, as recounted in her show at the Gilded Balloon.

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.
