Live at The Edinburgh Festival: Sarah Millican and Jon Holmes

Sarah Millican is first out of the blocks on today's podcast. She reveals a dark secret about Miles's past – watch out, she heard it from his mum – and introduces a short chat with festival virgin Lionel Blair. (A sweetheart, apparently, despite looking like a "really old fly".)

Next up is DJ Ivan Brackenbury, with a live link-up to his acclaimed hospital radio show. Ivan shares his love for Peter Kay, spins some discs for "disease hour" and passes on a special message from Snoop Dogg. Fo' shizzle.

Speaking of bad boys, here's Jon Holmes, telling us about his taste and decency fine. (Well, if you will play swearing radio hangman for kids ...) Jon tells us about juggling several projects and writing award-winning banter for the likes of Keanu Reeves. Cue some shameless showbiz backstage stories.

Tom Wrigglesworth is in town with a show called Open Letter to Richard Branson. Get a taster of his act, as he explains how his father almost killed the internet.

That just about leaves time for dirty comic Jim Jefferies to give us a delightful, X-rated story about a panda and convince us that he's no longer an angry young man. Then it's over to double act Frisky and Mannish … or is it Lily Allen and Noël Coward?

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.
