The New Radio 2 Arts Show with Claudia Winkleman - Claudia's live from the 2010 Edinburgh Fringe Festival

Live from Edinburgh, Claudia and The Arts Show aim to capture all the excitement and buzz from arguably Europe's most significant cultural event, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Claudia will be talking to the winner of the 2008 if.comedy award for Best Newcomer; comedienne Sarah Millican about her Chatterbox act. Also to the Australian singer Ali McGregor about her acclaimed solo show in which she's backed by a trio of jazz musicians and sings classic jazz ballads and blues made famous by Billie, Ella ... and Britney. To the award-winning comedian Alex Horne, star of BBC Four's comedy quiz show We Need Answers, about his act which celebrates beating the bookies and overcoming the odds. To Doctor Peter Lovatt, direct from his dance lab at Hertfordshire University - he'll let us know why it feels great to gyrate. And to contextualise the Festival, Claudia will be talking to the Chief Executive of the Fringe, formerly known as the artistic director, Kath Mainland. Plus, as the audience is central to the continuing success of Edinburgh, the show will include feedback from a cross section of the many thousands of people who attend each year. Claudia says "The Edinburgh Fringe Festival is always properly exciting and brilliant, and all of us who work on The Arts Show cannot cannot wait to broadcast live from there on August 13th.".
