Tough Gig follows one of the six comics as they are plucked from their day-to-day lives and totally immersed into a new world, where they will live, work, sleep and socialise. The series will also offer an insight into some of the most fascinating and unusual communities.

This week is the turn of Arabella Weir (star of The Fast Show and regular contributor to Grumpy Old Women) as she crosses to the other side when she spends a week at Ghost Festival in Edinburgh, joining clairvoyants and ghostbusters as they hold vigils and hunt for poltergeists. These people take the spirit world very seriously but Arabella is a non-believer.

Arabella will have just days to create a completely new stand-up routine based entirely on her experience. If that wasn’t enough, the routine must be performed to an audience comprising of people from her adopted ‘world’. How will her new material go down? Will she succeed?
