This time we welcome Karen Dunbar, the Scottish stage, screen and banger-spinning favourite who has just begun a sizeable tour of her homeland; around the nation in 80 dates, including Dunbar itself (although that's sold out already). Are there other places she's particularly keen to visit on what looks a pretty epic jaunt?

    It was the first of times, it was the worst of times. This time we welcome David Tsonos, all the way from Canada but now firmly ensconced in the UK, and about to achieve a big new thing, two decades on. "On the 25th of May I will be doing my first recording of my solo show," he says. "At the Secret Comedy Club as part of the Brighton Fringe."Which starts today. Stand-up is an artform where playing the long game can pay off - so what will that show involve, new stuff or classic gold?

    Probably not one to watch while having your tea - particularly seafood - the latest addition to Toby Williams' lengthy resumé has gone down very well, otherwise. He's the co-creator and leading man of Wet Fish, a spectacular effects-heavy comedy/horror short, directed by the envelope-pushing Big Red Button duo and co-starring Rachel Stubbings, which has just won a prestigious Webby Award.

    One random comedian, eight random questions; it's the ultimate test of funny person and fate. This week we welcome the freshest voice in that rarely-ventured venn diagram, stand-up and hip-hop: it's Amelia Hamilton, who's currently working on her first hour, Forget Me Not, which will launch properly at the Edinburgh Fringe this August. Before that she's bringing it to Brighton for a three-show run in May - but will it be the finished article?

    It was the first of times, it was the worst of times. For this Bank Holiday edition we welcome Bella Hull, who has a new WIP on the go, which pitches up at London's Bill Murray on Easter Monday. The title? Doctors Hate Her. "The new show is about modern medicine, astrology, and the wisdom in the trees," Hull reveals. "It's going to be bonkers. I'm super excited."That eventually winds up at the Edinburgh Fringe throughout August, at Monkey Barrel's Hive.
