Mark and his star team of comedians have been getting to the heart of the festival to bring you the best performers, personalities and shows from this year鈥檚 Edinburgh extravaganza.
It鈥檚 the last weekend of the Fringe, with lots to still see. Mark meets one of the world鈥檚 most popular stand-up comedians, Vir Das, who is well aware that half of his audiences in the UK don鈥檛 know who he is, yet.
Reporter Martin Geissler heads out to find out how a disastrous Willy Wonka themed show in Glasgow inspired one of the most successful shows in Edinburgh, whilst Jamie MacDonald embraces some African dance, music and acrobatics before becoming part of the show himself.
Festival regular Susan Riddell manages to escape the Edinburgh crowds to attend three unique performances, where she is the only person in the audience.
There鈥檚 a rundown of the best one-liner jokes of the Fringe, plus there鈥檚 live comedy from some of Scotland鈥檚 most exciting stand-up comedians, and plenty of surprises from an international cast of exciting global performers.
