Eager to celebrate their favourite sitcom (Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson's BBC 90s classic, Bottom), comedy fans Paul Tanter, Angela Pearson and Mat Brooks launched their popular podcast Talking Bottom in 2018. Named Podcast of the Week by The Guardian and Metro, it features interviews with Bottom's cast and creatives, plus deep dives into Bottom episodes and various comedy themes. Their companion book, Talking Bottom: A Guide to the Cult Sitcom, hits UK bookshops this summer. Now, the trio are bringing the Talking Bottom podcast live to Edinburgh, joined by a special guest (TBA).

The all-star cast (featuring Rachel Parris, Cariad Lloyd, Graham Dickson and more) improvise a hilarious new Jane Austen novel every show, inspired entirely by a title from the audience. Performed in period costume with live musical accompaniment – it's a riotous, razor-sharp show where swooning is guaranteed
