2014 Edinburgh Fringe

More details

XFM presenter and star of The Last Leg (CH4), Josh Widdicombe and Producer Neil bring their award winning XFM Show (iTunes Best New Audio Podcast 2013) to a live Edinburgh Festival audience for the first (and quite possibly last) time. The duo will be chatting with the finest acts at the Fringe for four nights only, 9th - 12th August at Assembly George Square Studios Three at 10:30pm.

Expect all the usual 90s references and appearances from show favourites, including James "Scrapemaster" Acaster, Nish "Good morning, or is it?" Kumar, Joe "Good morning listeners" Lycett, Matthew "Rags to Ritchie" Crosby, and more.

Widdicombe and his right-hand man, Producer Neil, have proved they have what it takes to break the competitive world of commercial radio. In just one short year, their weekly Saturday morning show has received critical acclaim, won the iTunes New Audio Podcast in 2013 and feature regularly in the iTunes Podcast Top 30. Listen to Josh Widdicombe on XFM, Saturdays, 10am-1pm and download the podcast at xfm.co.uk.

Broadcast details for Josh Widdicombe's XFM Show Live! will be announced shortly.
