Ken Bruce is at the Edinburgh Fringe to broadcast his Greatest Hits Radio show live from the festival celebrating Scotland’s biggest arts event.

The first of his mid-morning programmes aired this morning from Underbelly George Square, with another tomorrow morning featuring guests including comedians Alan Davies and Jason Byrne, EastEnders star Michelle Collins, and comic duo Paul Merton and Suki Webster.

PopMaster, Ken’s iconic quiz, also features live in both shows, of course!

Ken said: “Although my heart will forever belong to Glasgow, I’m always delighted for an excuse to pop back to my second favourite Scottish city, especially at such an exciting time.”

He added that it’s a joy to bring a taste of Edinburgh’s cultural buzz to Greatest Hits Radio listeners during the world’s biggest arts festival.

Breakfast presenter Rossie will also be broadcasting from Edinburgh next week, joined by ventriloquist Nina Conti and more special guests.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of Underbelly at the Fringe, with over 150 shows across Bristo Square, Cowgate, George Square and the Circus Hub on the Meadows.
