Nicola Meighan brings you theatre and comedy from the heart of the Edinburgh Festival.
Nicola catches up with some of the best Scottish practitioners showing their wares at the Edinburgh Festival including author Andrew O'Hagan and musician and actor Cora Bissett.
Nicola Meighan rounds up the best Scottish content at this year's Edinburgh Festival.
Cora Bissett is back with her smash-hit, gig-theatre show, charting the true story of Cora Bissett's rollercoaster journey from 90s indie-kid to wised-up woman. Touring with Radiohead, partying with Blur, she was living the dream. Until she wasn't. We also hear about her new short film being show and the Edinburgh International Film Festival.
Three-time Booker-nominated author Andrew O'Hagan brings his first ever play to the festival; a cautionary tale of literary life, sprinkled with humour, on one of America鈥檚 greatest authors, Truman Capote.
Olivier Award-winning writer Isobel McArthur shares all about her latest heart-filling ensemble comedy, the world premiere of The Grand Old Opera House Hotel, a story of art bringing us together in hopeless circumstance, to the tune of some of the most popular opera songs ever written.
And comedian and storyteller Marjolein Robertson tells Nicola about not one, but three of her Festival shows.
