Some of the performances in these shows are very funny. I recognised some of the performers from Audible's podcasts from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. And that's where the podcast let itself down in my humble opinion. I recognised a lot of jokes from the performers who were also in the Edinburgh Fringe shows. I mean a lot of jokes. Quite a lot of this material is recycled. The jokes were really funny the first time around but lose some of that in a repeat performance. There is no repeated material across the multiple Edinburgh Fringe Festival podcasts so I didn't expect any here. This made me enjoy the podcasts a lot less.
