This is a comedy about identity, history and the brutal reality of life for Njambi's tribe before the hurricane of colonialism arrived in Kenya.

Bringing the Fringe Back

Back and bigger than ever, the Edinburgh Festival and Fringe are at the heart of the world's cultural stage in August, and for the third year in a row, Mark Nelson and his showbiz reporters bring you the funniest, weirdest, most interesting and touching stories from the capital.

It's not cancer, cancellation or even the sign she made for Donald Trump

Janey does what she’s always done: turning her own dark and difficult experiences into laugher, as she paints a vivid picture of life in the East End of Glasgow in the 60s, and recounts a childhood steeped in poverty and abuse.

As she faces her own mortality, she and daughter Ashley Storrie talk, laugh and cry as they unpick some of the experiences she shares onstage.

Janey doesn’t know how long she’s got left, so she’s telling ALL the jokes!

Widely regarded as one of the best stand-up comedians in the country, we're delighted to bring Fred MacAulay back to BBC Radio 4.

The comedians made mistakes, the audience got involved; the genuine little sparks that make a live show special were captured and broadcast with confidence.

Stand-up how it really is, by masters of their craft.
