Kirsty Wark heads out into the night to see how the Fringe has changed since unlocking, and comedian Jamie MacDonald reaches for the skies as he learns to be a fitness instructor.

There is stand-up from Gary Little and Shaparak Khorsandi, and Mark cannot resist catching up with Shaparak to talk about his favourite thing in the world - the 90s.
Episode 2
This episode, Mark meets Jack Docherty to talk about his love of the Fringe and his new one-man play that might just be a true story. Rachel Jackson is still skint and single, so she is off to meet the African Groove Machine to see if learning to dance will improve her chances in love.
Jamie MacDonald talks to Queenz - The Show With Balls! to see what he misses out on at a drag show as a blind audience member - he gets right into the spirit of things. Joe Thomas from The Inbetweeners is starting a career in stand up comedy, so Mark goes down to the gardens to teach him a thing or two about heckling, and Jay Lafferty hosts Late'ish'n'Live, this Fringe's version of the most notorious night of all. With performances from Stephen Buchanan and Buff and Sheen.
