The show is a blend of side-crack style comedy, circus skills, characterisations, outrageous costumes and original footage of famous vaudevillian stars. She joins Sheila to talk about the eccentric acts for which her family were famous. Sue Broadway is performing her show Eccentric Acts - Broadway and Co" with Jeff Turpin at the Edinburgh Festival until Monday 26th August
