Ed Byrne hosts the first of our Secret Comedy Podcasts recorded live at the Edinburgh Festival with Jenny Éclair telling us how she got fired from Loose Women, Ben Van de Velde starts a joke chain letter to Putin and Marcus Brigstocke tells us a secret about how he told Elton John not to play the piano in his own house. Plus we've got stand up from the amazing Aisling Bea, a memory palace from the master of the one-liners Gary Delaney and David O'Doherty with an inspiring (and factually accurate) song about a man having a wank on a bike. Yep a bike. Nuff said.
