Hello and one to the Red Box Politics Podcast on The Times I'm Matt Chorley and this is the first of our special

Beyond the Fringe episodes speaking to comedians, interviewers, satirical acts taking shows to the Edinburgh

festival this year. I'm delighted to be joined by Lolly Jones who returns with her

satirical burlesque take on politics with a new show, I believe in Merkel's.

Ian Dale is an LBC presenter, writer, podcaster, blogger, and Tory leadership

hustings host who clearly isn't busy enough he's in

Edinburgh with all talk a political chap show intoing political giants like Nicholas

Sturgeon John McDonald say da vasey and Christophergens and Dominic Frisbee is the creator of

YouTube Smash 17 million fuckoffs a song about Brexit his show Libertarian love

songs comes with a warning no entry to statists crony capitalists or

the metropolitan liberal elites. Welcome to you all. So I suppose the first

thing we should do rather than burying it away at the end is just get you to

tell listeners what's your show and when is it on and start with you

Tomini? Well I'm actually doing four shows Matt but this one Libertarian Love

Songs I am doing for the whole run and I wrote two or

three songs earlier in the year and they went down very well one of them was that

17 million f-offs that you mentioned and I thought it would be good to do a sort of

it was originally going to be called Libertarian Protest songs so everything was like

follows the the format of the old socialist protest song of the 1980s

except with completely the opposite worldview and when how can people find out

where you are on it's at 10 past five every day in the Banshee

labyrinth which is apparently Edinburgh's most haunted venue. Very good. What about you
