Fresh Jokes every Thursday in Edinburgh!
Professional comedians trying new material for less than the price of an Edinburgh drink!
One of our resident comperes (Ross, Ralph or Cobin) will introduce up to five of our favourite acts from the Scottish comedy scene, and special visiting acts. Some acts have appeared on the TV, some are trying out material for national tours, or weekend comedy clubs - all are top drawer.
"We had so much fun at the comedy show. The host was really amazing in curating a relationship with the audience. The comedians were funny. We were smiling and laughing thru out the show. We arrived at the venue early and enjoyed drinks and absorbed the atmosphere. Recommended!"
"Me (Meo) and my boyfriend Fergal had an amazing time at the comedy show. I laughed so hard I inadvertently inhaled one of my mints and thought I would stop the show from choking but all was good, I didn’t choke and the belly laughs continued. We were there May 22nd and the final headliner was absolutely incredible and so was the host. Would highly recommend the show again and when afforded the opportunity I’d definitely come back and see the headliner again and again. His stuff was gold."
The room only holds 42 patrons, so please book well in advance as we often sell out!
The bar opens at 4pm, and is open until normal closing time after the show
Please arrive by 7.45pm latest, the show normally starts 8.00pm, and likely to finish 10.15pm - all times are approximate and any changes will be communicated on the night
There are normally 2 breaks between the acts for you to refresh your drinks
