Summary

This week, to mark the beginning of one of the world’s biggest arts festivals, we’re diving into some of our best stories from the Edinburgh Fringe!


First up, the hilarious Jack Dee tells us about his own unforgettable Fringe gig: performing in front of 200 murderers! Then we have the wonderful Adam Hills, who reveals the advice he received from Billy Connolly that helped him turn his part-time stand-up gigs into a full-time career that took him to the Fringe and beyond! Finally, the phenomenal Steve Pemberton tells us just how foundational his early Fringe success was for his career.
