Karen Dunbar, Robert Webb and music from Striking Matches

Janice Forsyth talks to comedians Karen Dunbar and Robert Webb, plus she has live music from Striking Matches and a brand new Tuesday Review.

Comedian Karen Dunbar is appearing in Happy Days in Glasgow as part of the Tron Theatre's Mayfesto season. She talks to Janice about taking on Beckett.

In Edinburgh there's a very different literary classic on the stage, PG Wodehouse's Jeeves and Wooster. Robert Webb plays the hapless nobleman, and Jason Thorpe his long-suffering manservant. They both join Janice in studio.

American country music duo Striking Matches are live in session.

Director Allie Butler and actor Linda McLaughlin tell Janice about their new theatre piece REaD, celebrating the joys of having red hair, and featuring an entirely flame-haired cast.

Writer Kirsty Logan's new book The Gracekeepers is a fantasy set in a mysterious flooded world. She explains why she loves creating new worlds, and the appeal of fantasy.

And Janice launches a brand new feature, the Tuesday Review. Kirsty Logan, photographer David Eustace, and critic Hannah McGill give their verdicts on Kate Atkinson's new book A God In Ruins, Leonard Cohen's live album Can't Forget: A Souvenir of the Grand Tour, and the television adaptation of Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell.
