Audience review: “Brilliant start to a day at the fringe. Jovial and informative, we seemed to giggle our way through as an audience. Host Richard is ever forgiving (at least outwardly) when his panellists get diverted and is a great guiding hand. Great for history buffs and fans of laughing alike”.
