The Good, the Bad and the Unexpected

Available for 18 days

Mark Nelson leads a panel of Scotland's funniest comedians and personalities attempting to decipher the good from the bad, with a few unexpected twists along the way. This week, Scottish hero Ewan Maclean shares some incredible stories from his record-breaking adventures crossing the Atlantic and Pacific oceans in a rowing boat with his brothers, whilst top improv star Pippa Evans tells a story about baffling the locals in England. Completing the line-up is actor and fellow improv master Mike McShane, whose good story turns him from a performer into the audience, and he really shines in a musical unexpected round about an old friend of the show.
