Returning to the Edinburgh Fringe this year are Marnina Schon and Micah O’Konis, from Couplet Comedy. ‘Folk Marry Kill’ is a folktale about s*x, death, and the hard question of “how often should a married couple, you know… folk?” We talk about the delights of writing a follow-up show, why “kill your darlings” is something they still have to contend with, and coming back to the Fringe with a little more experience.

Em Stroud has popped into the Fringe Show studio today to talk about her show Navigating Life, a look at “what happens when we stop trying to control everything and simply ‘be’.”

Em has many hats to wear, from comic and clown, through motivational speaking, to coaching and writing. All of those are in play at this year’s Fringe, including a few more that you’ll discover along the way. Listen in as Em and I talk about her KPI metrics of Fringe 2026, finding the money to perform in Edinburgh, and the all-encompassing challenge of deciding on the colour of crisps.

What if Cabaret, disaster movie, philosophy, and Geri Halliwell? You get Apocalypse Cabaret: Songs for the End of the World!

To learn more about this one-woman cabaret show, I talk with Scout Durwood as she brings this dark delight to the Edinburgh Fringe. With a mix of original songs, standards and a dash of existentialism, we’ve got a lot of ground to cover.

This is Durwood’s first play, which means balancing between sticking to the page and performing for a live audience, and why cabaret thrives with restricted budgets. There’s also the small matter of some of the comparisons in the press release… why Bette Midler?

One of the delights of the Edinburgh Fringe is finding something that’s just a single step to the side of your average show. It’s in those little side streets where you can find something spectacular.

Kit Loyd is on one of those side streets. He’s brought Frenzy to the Fringe, a delightful and engaging mix of comedy, physical theatre, and mime. It’s also his first full hour at the Fringe.

I sat down with Kit to talk about bringing a debut show to Edinburgh, his expectations, and how he discovered that his forte is mime and physicality.

Some will know him from the dim and distant past as Barry Ferns. Edinburgh Fringe historians will know him as Lionel Ritchie. Others in the comedy scene of 2025 will know him, once more, as Barry Ferns.

And there you have the premise for his Fringe show, My Seven Years As Lionel Ritchie. This strong narrative hour charts the highs and lows of being a professional comic at the Fringe, the lead up to the shows, the many years of “this year is the one”, the debt, the bankruptcy, and the return to the scene.

We touch on many of these subjects in today’s interview to give you a flavour of what all performers face at the Fringe, as well as putting Barry’s work at Angel Comedy and The Bill Murray into context.
