With Shappi Khorsandi and Al Murray

Mary Anne is joined in the studio by comedians Shappi Khorsandi and Al Murray, plus laughter expert Sophie Scott.

Mary Anne celebrates the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with Shappi Khorsandi and Al Murray, plus laughter expert Sophie Scott.

Comedian and author Shappi Khorsandi joins us to talk about the role music plays in her life and what it feels like to be up onstage, ahead of her show 'Mistress and Misfit' at Edinburgh this year.

Neuroscientist Sophie Scott delivers a riveting 3 Minute Epiphany on the science behind why we laugh (and why some of us don't!)

And, last but not least, we conclude with our weekly catch-up with comedian and Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Proms podcast host Vikki Stone, who took Al Murray to the Proms with her this week!
