Why commission Marmite comedy? And is it ok to be offensive? These questions and more in a special edition of Feedback recorded at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

In the last programme in this series of Feedback, we bring you a special edition devoted to one of the most divisive radio subjects - comedy.

Recorded in front of an audience at the Edinburgh Fringe, Roger Bolton puts questions from listeners in the room and at home to a panel of comedy movers and shakers.

Roger is joined on stage by Radio 4 Commissioning Editor Caroline Raphael - the woman who decides what's funny enough for Radio 4 and by comedian Marcus Brigstocke, who can be heard across ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ radio in programmes like the Now Show and The Brig Society, as well as radio producer Colin Anderson and the Head of Radio for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Scotland, Jeff Zycinski.

There will also be some fringe talent in the form of performance poet Mark Niel and hotly-tipped newcomer Michael Fabbri.

Producer: Kevin Dawson
A Whistledown Production for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4.
