Stuart Maconie soaks up Glasgow International Comedy Festival. He is joined by comedian Alana Jackson who went viral with her stories of Glasgow funerals, took home the prestigious So You Think You're Funny? award in 2024, and took time out of her line dancing schedule last year to enjoy a sold-out run at the Edinburgh Festival. Plus stand-up Sam Lake, who asks guests on his podcast - I've Had A Rosé, Let's Talk About Feelings - to join him on a deep chat with a beverage of their choice. But why did jelly change the way he flies forever? Writer and restaurant critic Candice Chung delves her relationship with her family and how food says things that words can't in her memoir - Chinese Parents Don't Say I Love You. With music from Vitamin String Quartet, whose classical pop-covers help bring the world of Bridgerton alive, and the cast of One Day: The Musical share a track from the new production. Producer: Caitlin Sneddon Production Coordinator: Lauren Stewart
