In episode 1 we introduce what makes this Late Night comedy club truly unique – the audience. For 25 years, for the month of August, during Edinburgh Fringe, Late’n’Live has opened its doors at 1am each night and presented 3 acts, a compere and a comedy band to a very scary audience. Consisting of largely locals, this audience let the acts know exactly what they think of them and have raised heckling to an art form. Subsequently, it has earned the international reputation at the world’s toughest gig – a bear-pit where even the strongest acts have died horrible comedy deaths.
