An aubergine, a naked magician and Jesus Christ on a BMX stroll into a bar ... is this the start of a strange joke? Well, yeah, but it is also some of the performers you might find at The Last Drop bar in Edinburgh after a day's work at this year's Fringe.

Bethany Black had it tough in recent years, getting dumped by her fiancée followed by illness and a fractured leg. Then her life turned around with a starring role in Russell T Davies' TV series Cucumber Banana Tofu, becoming the first trans person to star as a transgender character in the UK, as well as appearing in Dr Who! She calls herself an "idiot" in her blurb, but this should be a smart, powerful hour of stand-up.

Sophie Bridger, Stonewall, 5th August 2016A day in the life of Bethany Black
Currently I get up at 8, or at least I am woken up then when the guys who are doing building work next door start hammering and drilling into the adjoining wall to my house. After a bit of a swear and an internal conversation about how if I go round and murder them all with a hammer, I'd at least be able to get some sleep before the police arrived, I give up on getting back to sleep as a bad job and get out of bed.
