Watch Nihal Arthanayake trying stand-up for the first time
Nihal Arthanayake is used to interviewing comedians for his show on Radio 5 Live, but for the first time ever he has attempted stand-up comedy himself.
As part of this year's fringe, Nihal was given a 10 minute slot at the Monkey Barrel Comedy Club in Edinburgh.
But was he good enough to make the audience laugh?
This clip is taken from the Nihal Arthanayake programme on Thursday 15th August 2019.
