One of the most recognisable faces in UK comedy, Matt Lucas charts his journey from Shooting Stars' improvising baby-grow nutcase George Dawes, to the double-act with David Walliams that made him a household name, to his most recent foray into purely physical comedy Pompidou.

We explore his writing and creative process, and as well as unpacking the controversy surrounding Little Britain and Come Fly With Me, we learn what drives Matt, and whether his success has brought him happiness.

140 - Mae Martin (Live at the Edinburgh Fringe)

Canadian comic Mae Martin combines sparkling punchlines and disarming candour in her deeply personal standup. We talk about her startling origin as an audience volunteer, gender politics, and we investigate her responsibility or otherwise to her audience.

142 - Joel Dommett (Live at the Edinburgh Fringe)

Having chosen possibly the only career where his good looks can count against him, comedy- and creativity-addict Joel defies those who would write him off as an MTV jawline. We get stuck into his moving, inventive and hilarious solo shows and their tricksy relationship with the truth, and discuss whether comedy has to stand up in court. We also meet his collaborator Steve Dunne, and learn the rules to the wildly irresponsible game "knifey knifey crash mat".
