In Edinburgh? Feeling funny? Got a gag that would shame the professionals with it's sheer, undeniable brilliance? Good. Visit our Funny in 15 Seconds Booth...

You've seen our Funny in 15 Seconds clips on TV, right?

Remember this revealing celebratory own-goal of a sketch?

Or this baby boo-boo by a new dad?

Well this time we don't want sketches, festival-goers, no. We just want YOU, mucking about in our video booth, for no more than fifteen seconds.

Clicky the linky and Lee Nelson will tell it like it is and explain all.

The Funny in 15 Seconds Booth is located at: The Venue, Bristo Square, Edinburgh, EH8 9AL.

Whether you're a seasoned professional comedian, an undiscovered gem of a new act or you just fancy seeing yourself on the BBC Three website... pop by the booth and give it your best.

We put the booth up through two days of  wind and rain. We could do with a laugh... ;-)

 

Construction is almost complete.

The main stage is nearly fully erect. Steady. We mean that literally.

The The Funny In 15 Booth (our TARDIS of funny) is primed and ready to record your gags.

Top comedians Tom Rosenthal, Andrew Lawrence, Adam Riches and sketch comedy mavericks Wit Tank have all signed on the dotted line to appear in the week and on next Friday's live showcase. We can't wait to see them in action.

Want a taster of what might be in store? BBC Comedy has this shocking sketch featuring Wit Tank member Naz Osmanoglu...

If you're in Edinburgh and want to know we've got planned, or you're at home and want to know how to catch our highlights from the comedy at the biggest and best festival in the world then visit our Fringe site for all the info.

If you are up in Edinburgh we thoroughly recommend checking out the excellent Edinburgh Fringe website.

This summer BBC Three is bringing you the best comedy from this year's Edinburgh Festival...

This year BBC Three is all about bringing you the funny from The Fringe. The biggest and best comedy festival in the world.

If you're actually at the festival you'll be able to visit the BBC venue, pop inside our Funny in 15 Booth and record your best gag. (Top tip: Have a go before you hit the bar.) Then we'll put your #Funnyin15 clips on our website so you can share your moment of madness with the world.

Keep a close eye on the Red Button from the 16th of August onwards for exclusive collections of anything-could-happen sketches and stand up from the best new hot shots in this biz of show. Don't worry if you miss any of the stuff on the red button. We'll be publishing all those gigs online too.

You can keep up with what's going on by liking our Facebook page and following @bbc3tv.

In fact, allow me to introduce myself. I'm Steve and it's been an amazing surprise to be asked to bring you the best backstage activity from the venue via the miracle of Social Media. Actually, I grovelled. I begged. I schmoozled Mister Tumble. I wined and dined The Chuckle Brothers. Finally... my dream came true.

Right, enough about me, back to the schedule.

Lee Nelson, Rusell Kane, Charlie Baker, David O'Doherty, Roisin Conaty and Joe Wilkinson will be starring in our live TV show on Friday August 19th, and you can join in online. We'll be doing live webchat throughout the show where you can gossip with the stars and maybe influence what happens onstage as it happens.

Please remember, if you have to heckle... make it brilliant. ;-)

Between now and then, let's marvel at Charlie's twinkle-toed performances on Let's Dance For Comic Relief...

See you in Edinburgh, Steve.
