Ep. 5 | Festivals

It’s August, and that can mean only one thing in the comedy world. The Edinburgh Fringe is upon us and the UK witnesses a comedy exodus up to Scotland for a month. With Harry soon to depart, the pair explore the role that comedy festivals, principally Edinburgh, play in the comedy ecosystem. They also examine the lifestyle of punters and comics at festivals, and how to make the most of your time there.

That's not all: Harry reminisces fringes past and Jacob's tolerance of warmup games finally runs out.
