48 - Patrick Monahan & Bob Slayer

In the seventh of our Edinburgh specials, Christian and Jake talk to comedians Patrick Monahan and Bob Slayer. Patrick was the winner of ITV's "Show me the Funny" in 2011. He's much sought after as an MC and host on the UK comedy circuit. This year he brought his show "Cake Charmer" to the Edinburgh Fringe at the Gllded Balloon. Bob Slayer is the founder and trickster behind Heroes of the Fringe and Bob's Bookshop,  two venues at Edinburgh Fringe. Now in it's third year at Edinburgh Fringe (previously called Alternative Fringe), Bob champions a new approach to the business of Comedy and Fringe Festivals. He has appeared at Edinburgh Fringe every year since 2008 and twice been nominated for the Malcolm Hardee Award for Comic Originality (2010 and 2011). This year he brought his show "Worldwide Bawbag" to his Bookshop venue. Christian and Jake talk to them about their 25 hour Edinburgh hug, "Show me the Funny", working clean and public nudity.
