The Fringe, Fame and Me

Told by the stars who first found fame at the Edinburgh Fringe, this is the inside story of what it takes to make a name here, from those who enjoyed overnight success, to those who slogged for years to make it. Through their triumphs, favourite jokes, and sometimes painful failures, discover a hidden history of British comedy, revealing how the gags we find funny and the comedians we love reflect our changing culture.
