After a sun-kissed opening day in the comedy tent, the heavens opened for day two. Well, not exactly opened.

Brady has been building up a big following on the comedy circuit in recent years with her tough, uncompromising confessional shows. She was recently diagnosed as autistic and has been typically outspoken on the subject, how she has difficulty, for example picking up conversational cues and has trouble making smalltalk.
Older readers might remember Monty Python's Whicker Island sketch where there were too many Alan Whickers and not enough rich people left to interview. In recent months it has started to feel as if there are too many comedians criss-crossing the UK and not enough people to interview too.
