Access All’s Emma Tracey chats to three comedians taking to the stage at Edinburgh Festival Fringe this summer.Joe Tracini has been battling with borderline personality disorder (BPD) his whole life but is in a good place and ready to wow the crowds in Scotland with his show, alongside the negative voice in his head, Mick.This year marks 20 years since comedy troupe Abnormally Funny People was formed, made up of a collection of comedians with disabilities or mental health conditions. Two of those performing this year include Juliette Burton and Harriet Dyer.Juliette talks about the A-Z of conditions she’s been diagnosed with since she was a teenager and how a recent diagnosis of autism and ADHD may have just made the previous 30 years of her life make sense.And Harriet Dyer, who lives with bi-polar disorder, reveals how she accidentally fell into comedy after telling the true story about how she died twice, to a classroom full of students. Presented by Emma TraceySound design: Dave O’NeillProducers: Ivana Davidovic and Emma TraceySeries producer: Beth RoseEditor: Damon Rose
