Hit podcast No Such Thing As A Fish is celebrating this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe by showcasing eight of its most exciting comics. In a pair of episodes released on 1st and 8th August, Britain’s dorkiest foursome welcome the likes of Nish Kumar, Elf Lyons and Ahir Shah, to discuss subjects ranging from Jimi Hendrix, to medieval animal trials, to the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. 

In their regular episodes, the team at No Such Thing As A Fish – Dan, James, Anna and Andy – present the most interesting, weird and funny facts they’ve found that week, alongside a healthy serving of questionable puns and absurd tangents. Having spent over a decade as one of the UK’s top podcasts, they’ve managed to sustain the interest of the nation.

Now, they’ve decided it’s time to hand over to the comedy pros, saying: ‘We thought it’d be fun to pile even more pressure on these brilliant performers, just as they were frantically writing their Edinburgh sets, by testing their nerd credentials. They did not disappoint. If you want to hear some of 2025’s best comedians swapping facts and jokes on the topics that really make them tick, have a listen. And if you’re anywhere near Edinburgh, go check out their shows immediately.’

The full roster of guests, who come with an impressive array of prestigious comedy awards between them, comprises (in no particular order) Nish Kumar, Elf Lyons, Ahir Shah, Urooj Ashfaq, Ian Smith, Ray O’Leary, Andrew O’Neill and Abby Howells.
