#460 - John鈥檚 50 Kids, Nish Kumar and The Cobbles Sing Their Plaintive Lament

Nish Kumar joins the show to help John lament over the Edinburgh Festival.

It鈥檚 a lament time of year. It鈥檚 an Edinburgh time of year. A time when John yearns for the crippling comedic examination which is the Edinburgh Festival. For he cannot experience that emotional rollercoaster this year. He can鈥檛 sit on a stage and call himself a C*** after someone shouts 鈥渉ave you had a ploughman鈥檚鈥 during the most emotionally hefty part of his show.

Thankfully Elis鈥檚 wedding DJ, Nish Kumar, is on hand to bring despatches from the Caledonian comic frontline.

And as always that isn鈥檛 all. Because as a magazine show commands, there must be a selection of other lighthearted segments and features. In such bits expect John to, yet again, admonish Elis鈥檚 potential car selection and a return of an old featurey friend to set tongues alight.

It鈥檚 elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk and 07974 293 022 on WhatsApp for all of your passing thoughts. And do go check out the blooming Bureau de Change of the mind eps on the 蜜芽传媒 Sounds feed if you haven鈥檛 already!
