  • Hello from the Edinburgh Fringe and hello to the newscasters who've come to see us in the Edinburgh Fringe.

  • Hello!

  • So just a reminder that this week's newscast is going to sound a little bit different because,

  • yeah, we are in a sort of theatrical venue.

  • We are at the Edinburgh Fringe.

  • I've got one of these handheld microphones that sounds a bit kind of echoey.

  • And, yeah, we've got a very enthusiastic audience with us.

  • I've just realised who else is going to be on this stage at various points during the Fringe for the next month.

  • Any Smack the Pony fans here?

  • Yes, a few.
