Edinburgh Special
Tim Minchin and Adam Hills join John Humphrys for a special edition of the fastest show on air. From 2006's Edinburgh Fringe.
28 performers have just 60 seconds in which to entertain the audience in this traditional variety show,
Featuring established stand-ups, and some newer talent
John Humphrys presides at the side of the stage with a stopwatch, ready to cut the microphone when the time is up.
And hey - if there's an act you don't like, well, there's another one along in 55 seconds or so...
