This year Mark's Edinburgh show has the audience coming up with policy
ideas to change the world for the better and at each show a policy is
voted on by the audience to form a manifesto.

Ideas range from
regional legal issues like abolishing 'breach of the peace' in
Scottish common law to the visionary and universal notion of forcing
the government to give everyone the day off work on their birthday !
After 13 shows Mark takes the manifesto to Scotland's politicians in a
public debate. A cross party group of MSPs has agreed to discuss the
policy ideas voted on by Mark's audience to see if there is a way to
make any of these policies become a reality.

Paul Merton and his highly acclaimed Impro Chums are wonders of nature. Impro Chums take audience suggestions and create cascades of fantastic tumbling laughter. Most of the time. The Impro Chums are Paul Merton, Suki Webster, Richard Vranch, Lee Simpson and Mike McShane.

Jack always wanted to be a real man, like the ones in the audience at Top Gear, but unfortunately he likes Smirnoff Ice and doesn't look good with his shirt off.

Festival favourite Lucy Porter’s latest solo show is a witty romp through the history of gold. In these times of recession, gold is prized more highly than ever, as other forms of currency grow worthless. What’s so special about gold, and why is it that human beings have long been obsessed with the yellow, shiny stuff? The show will feature live alchemy, a tribute to Mr T. and a very valuable, big gold thing with security guards and everything!

'Hilarious Porter is definitely in credit after the crunch' EDINBURGH EVENING NEWS
