Comedy from Jules O'Brian

• From hometown heroes to the brightest names in comedy, hear from Ignacio Lopez, Dave Chawner and Alexander Bennett, all taking the mic at this weekend's bigger-than-ever Shrewsbury International Comedy Festival.

• For some a terminal diagnosis might get you down. But not T, from Handsworth. Discover how he's poetry as a way of finding the best out of a bad situation, showing how cancer is not in charge any more.

• Get the inside scoop on the new BBC podcast that puts online cyber hacking on an international scale under the microscope. Explore what it's like to trace the dark web courtesy of the journalist behind The Conti Files, on BBC Sounds.

• Plus the final performance recorded on our stage at The Old Cock in Droitwich, from the Rik Mayall Comedy Festival. Laugh out loud with a set from the former Staffordshire teacher who's turned in to one of the rising stars of British stand-up. Jules O'Brian from Tamworth brings us her unique take of seeing the bright side of life, finding the fun in life as a single mum.
