The Now Show is a much-loved stalwart of radio comedy.

Among the subjects they contend with are International Women's Day, Comic Relief, Christmas ads, Twitter panic, Doctor Who, Cambridge Analytica, the Skripal poisonings in Salisbury and Stormy Daniels.
In three special episodes of The Vote Now Show, the team look across the political spectrum to give their own unique take on the 2017 election shenanigans. Among those joining them on the hustings are Tiffany Stevenson, Freya Parker, Ellie Taylor, Emma Sidi and Geoff Norcott.
Plus, two shows recorded at the Edinburgh Festival provide some Fringe-based comedy from performers including Fern Brady, Loyiso Gola, New Comedy Award-winner Stephen Buchanan and Edinburgh Best Newcomer nominee Sarah Keyworth.

If ordering from a UK store, please note that you are in Region 1 (DVD)/Region A (Blu-ray), whilst the UK is in Region 2/B, respectively. This means that many - but by no means all - may fail to play. Look for products marked "Region free", "All regions", "Region 0" or "Multi-region". Blu-rays may also be marked "Region A/B/C", "Region free", or variations thereof. You may also check whether your DVD/Blu-ray player supports multi-region playback (also referred to as "region free"), or whether it can be set to do so. There should, of course, be no problems with books, CDs, or other physical items.
