Secret Comedy Podcast Out Now

Throughout August we are in Edinburgh recording our Secret Comedy Podcast with Julian Clary, Ed Byrne, Alan Davies, Jo Caulfield, Christian O'Connell and John Moloney, plus a host of the best comedians around.

We're there to remind everyone about the importance of free speech. So download the podcast and enjoy the biggest laughs from the Festival and remember to use your free speech to speak out for those that are denied theirs.
