Listen "Live at the Edinburgh Festivals: Adam Hills and Dan Tiernan"
Episode Synopsis
As Edinburgh’s world famous arts festival continues, Emma Tracey takes to the stage at Dynamic Earth to host an episode in front of an audience.
Adam Hills has presented The Last Leg for 12 years and has his face on an Australian postage stamp, but it’s only now he’s realising life is better when your “shoes are half full”. The comedian, who has a prosthetic foot, also gives the inside track on what he’ll be doing at the Paris Paralympics.
Dan Tiernan has been winning all sorts of comedy awards and is making a huge name for himself as a dyspraxic comedian. But with constant mishaps – tripping over and losing items – he wonders whether there should be tax breaks for neurodivergent people.
Plus they both reveal that receiving bad news is often good news for a comedian who has a show to write…something Dan discovered when he was recently diagnosed with gout at the tender age of 28…
Recorded by, and with thanks, to the BBC Edinburgh Festivals team
Mixed by Dave O’Neill
Produced by Claire Bates and Alex Collins
The Editors were Beth Rose and Ben Mundy
