Tonight we test the smarts of beguiling Patience Hodgson from The Grates, urbane wunderkind Jonathan Biggins, venerable vaudevillian Val Jellay, and wickedly whimsical Frank Woodley.

Val reminisces about the good and not so good old days in showbiz, and we learn about Patience's penchant for ribbons, sock puppets and skeletons.

One Out of Three Ain't Bad features stories about John Cage and Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Jonathan trounces all comers in Substitute, and we wrap it all up with a truly classy closer that will have you straining to hear more.
