Comedy nights return to Paisley, plus a look at the former Strathclyde police officer behind the popular Harry the Polis books, and Edinburgh's first comedy guided walking tour.

One of the forefathers of Scottish stand-up, Piero Pieraccini, set up Paisley comedy nights before Scotland had dedicated comedy venues. And comedian Keara Murphy is experienced in providing custom-made comedy shows. They've joined forces to reinstate Paisley's "Joke Box" nights and join Janice to share the secrets of successfully hosting a comedy event.

Following a career as a Strathclyde police officer, Harry Morris found his true calling was for comedy when writing amusing anecdotes for the police internal newsletter. This became the catalyst for his popular and hilarious "Harry the Polis" book series, the ninth of which, "It Wisnae Me... Honest!" is due for publication. He tells the Comedy Caf茅 about the funny side of policing.

And it's Edinburgh as you've never seen it as we take a humorous guided tour of the capital's comedy hotspots in the company of an accident prone historian and his hapless assistant.
