Janice Forsyth finds out how stand ups handle hecklers at a live gig, and asks whether they help or hinder a show.

Dealing with hecklers is one of the hazards of being a stand-up. But do they help or hinder the show? Comedian and compere Paul Sneddon and winner of Chortle's Newcomer of the Year award Diane Spencer have coped with plenty of rowdy crowds. They share their experiences and tips on how best to handle hecklers at a live gig.

A Facebook fan following, four years of sell-out Fringe shows, TV appearances from the 成人快手 to MTV. Little wonder stand-up and comic writer Kev F. Sutherland struggles to share the spotlight with his hosiery inspired creations the Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre. Kev talks to the Comedy Caf茅 about taking a backseat to two grey woollen knitted socks whose rapid-fire banter has made them the toast of today's comedy double acts.

And Janice is joined by Brian Limond, creator and star of "Limmy's Show", which returns for a second series of surreal sketches on 成人快手 Scotland.
