Synopsis
Vulgar, opinionated and brutally honest - American stand-up Doug Stanhope isn't everyone's comedy cup of tea. We hear from the controversial comedian to find out if there's more to him than mere shock value.
Once considered a rite of passage for any would-be comedian looking to make the grade, is the Edinburgh Fringe festival still important for comedians? We ask comedy critic Bruce Dessau and comedian Stuart Goldsmith.
And laughter meets learning in a new comedy night aimed at engaging audiences with the weird and wonderful world of university research - and all through the medium of humour. We hear from university researchers who've swapped their studious sides to share their specialist findings through stand-up.
