Fringe Festival 2023 : David Baddiel

Refreshing Pod is back for a new series, and this summer it's all about the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, as Johnny speaks to a host or acts preforming in August as part of the Fringe, or Free (Fringe) Festival.

He's back in Scotland for the 1st time in roughly 10 years, David Baddiel has a total of 4 shows during the few days of the 2023 festival.

David speaks to Johnny, on what's he is bringing to the stage in Scotland, from his storytelling, with question and answer sessions regarding his two recent publications 'The God Desire' (on how he would love to believe in God, and fantasising about how much better life would be if there actually was such a thing). Plus 'Jews Don't Count' (in this he outlines why and how, in a time of intensely heightened awareness of minorities, Jews don't count as a real minority: and why they should).

David also chats about his more traditional background in stand up comedy, as he revisits 3 gigs covering his life and career over the last 30 years.

Of course, Johnny get's in the subject of Football, and 3 lions, it would be rude not address this, because 2 England fans are chatting about football, with the recording taking place in Scotland, and Frank Skinner (as you might expect) gets a mention or two.

Catch: David Baddiel - Talking Books (3rd - 10th Aug) Assembly, George Square Gardens

And: David Baddiel WIP (x 3 gigs) at Monkey Barrel (4th, 6th & 9th Aug)
