COMEDIAN Ben Verth, who will be appearing at the Beehive Inn in Edinburgh's Grassmarket during this year's Fringe, lives in Edinburgh, so already the locals are giving him comic potential for his show.

Only the other day he was in a cheesemongers in Stockbridge when a posh elderly lady expressed dissatisfaction with the way the young assistant was cutting her cheese, and came out with the memorable line: "Look, are you new? Because I've never seen anyone so cavalier with cheddar."
