Dave Elliott: Obsessed

Dave Elliott: Obsessed comes to The Stand Edinburgh on Saturday 5 September 2026 at 4pm. A new observational stand-up show about modern habits, everyday fixations, and the petty things that become bigger than they should.

Key Event Details

What To Expect

Dave Elliott’s new hour centres on the things people get oddly consumed by, from minor routines and modern distractions to the kind of small frustrations that can take over a whole day. The material is grounded in day-to-day life, but the focus is on how those habits and obsessions spiral into bigger comic set pieces.

The Stand bills the show as a fresh solo set from the Irish comic, with a late-afternoon start that makes it a good pick if you want an earlier Edinburgh comedy show. Expect an hour built around sharp observations, quick punchlines, and recognisable behaviour.

Tickets & Entry

Tickets from £20. Availability can change, so check the official event page for the latest booking details and any age guidance before you go.
