Many months ago the lovely David O’Doherty and I sat down at a hotel on the Royal Mile. He bought me coffee and we talked about comedy, jazz and poetry and some other stuff like his fantastical book “100 Facts About Pandas“. David will be comedy-a-fying at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival from 4 – 30 August at The Pleasance Courtyard. You can get tix here. Listen to our podcast and then go see him make funny. Enjoy!
