I've seen a few posts of the photos from Funny From The Fringe radio show podcast, but have yet to see a comprehensive post.

If you are unaware of what Funny from the Fringe was, it was a daily Radio 4 BBC podcast that was released for each day of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2016 and 2017, recorded live on scene. It also includes some bonus episodes. It was hosted by Phil Ellis and in each episode he interviews and talks to a few comedians (exact number varies per episode, usually 2 or 3).

All episodes are available (and linked) on BBC, and is not region locked, so all countries should be able to access it, without a VPN. Although, the site will look different depending on if you're in the UK or not (because of iPlayer I think?).

Episodes are downloadable, straight from the site on each episode, or can be streamed.

Best Sister Tournament: Round 1: Group F:

Yelena Belova (MCU)

Kitty Higham (Ghosts)

Voting ended onMar 29, 2025

Propaganda Under Cut:

Yelena Belova (Adoptive Sister of Natasha Romanoff): Submitted by Anonymous. Yelena cared for her sister despite feeling abandoned and betrayed by her. After finding out that her sister had sacrificed herself for humanity she became blinded by her grief.

Kitty Higham (Adoptive Sister of Eleanor and Surrogate Sister of Allison): Kitty believed the best of Eleanor and always trusted her even when Eleanor treated her terribly. After Allison began to be able to see ghosts Kitty was quick to develop sisterly feelings towards her and wished she was the sister she had.
