The Arts Hour on Tour in Edinburgh

The Arts Hour

Available for over a year

The Arts Hour on Tour is at The Edinburgh International Festival - the largest arts festival in the world with performers and visitors coming from across the globe. Presenter Nikki Bedi is on stage discussing the art and activism behind some of the most exciting Edinburgh shows this year; actor and comedian Janeane Garofalo has her first fringe stand up for five years and Maria Alyokhina from Pussy Riot takes her memoir Riot Days off the page and into the theatre. Hot Brown Honey from Australia smash female stereotypes in their explosive cabaret performance. We also have Nigerian poet Donna Ogunnaike and stand-up comedy from Venezuela with Ivan Aristeguieta.
