Edinburgh Comedy

Few cities in the world do comedy like Edinburgh. Home to the legendary Edinburgh Festival Fringe (EdFringe), the city’s venues buzz with stand-up, improv, and sketch acts all year round — not just in August.

From famous stages like The Stand Comedy Club and Monkey Barrel to pub basements where future stars cut their teeth, Edinburgh’s comedy scene never sleeps.
