Hello.
We are doing a show in front of a huge and very enthusiastic live audience at the Edinburgh festival.
They got the hint when to come in.
Right before we start, though, I've got to read out the health and safety instructions, and I love doing stuff like this.
So welcome to the BBC at the Edinburgh festivals.
The toilets are through the double doors.
I hope you've all been beforehand, though.
There are no planned fire alarms, so if the fire alarm does go off, then that means the building is on fire.
The audience team will direct you to the exits.
The fire signs are covered up by the currents, but don't worry, the audience team will guide us.
And also, if it's a less pressing emergency, like you need the toilet, they can also take you there, too.
If you need help or feel unwell, make the audience team aware.
Or even if you just want to give us some good praise, let them know about that as well.
There are some microphones above your head so that we can record your amazing reactions to the content that we're going to give you.
But if you're super, super tall, please watch your head.
Can you put your phones on silent?
I went to the proms last night, and somebody did not put their phone on silent, but that was fine because it was quieter than the baby that was sat next to me.
There were water coolers outside, but as you've just heard, you can only go outside if the building's on fire, so you won't be drinking from the water coolers.
And apparently you can get coffees outside when the bar is open.
