The People Have Spoken

Random draw open

The People Have Spoken, but what will they say? A new topical comedy series has landed on BBC Radio 4, hosted by Ian Smith (The News Quiz, Live at the Apollo), and we're taking the temperature of the nation in silly season.

Join us for this Edinburgh fringe recording, for a chance to be part of our audience/focus group. Ian and a coterie of comedian friends will be talking the big questions of the week, and posing some to the audience

Have you ever tried to nick your boss' job? Written a resignation letter that slags off your whole team? Or worn shorts that are a bit too short when on a run? Then we want to hear from you.

Expect laughs, insight, and bewilderment at the state of the world.

Tickets will be distributed by random draw.

You can apply for tickets at any time until Friday 10 July at 4pm.

You can apply for a maximum of two tickets per show and should you be successful, you will receive tickets for a maximum of four shows.

Good luck!

How to be in the audience for our Edinburgh Festival shows

Tickets for BBC shows at the Edinburgh Festivals are being allocated by random draw, so when we receive your ticket request your details are added to the list of applicants.

Applications are accepted until the publicised closing date/time.

Step 2: Receive a message

Once the random draw has closed all eligible requests are entered into the random draw. If successful, we notify you by text message and send your e-ticket(s) to your email address.

If unsuccessful you will be kept on the waiting list in case anyone cancels their tickets.

You will receive tickets for a maximum of four BBC shows at this year's Festivals.

Step 3: Bring your tickets and ID

We do our best to get the numbers right, but unfortunately we occasionally have to disappoint people. Remember that every guest must bring original approved photo ID.
