What To Expect
Lemoncake sees Nina Gilligan build a new show around family life, change, and the odd turning points that come with getting older. The official blurb points to empty nesting, reinvention, and a lemon cake incident that clearly did not stay small for long.
Gilligan’s comedy mixes warmth with bite, and the set is likely to appeal to audiences who enjoy personal storytelling as much as direct punchlines. This is a solo performance at The Stand rather than a festival-style compilation show.
Tickets & Entry
Tickets from £16. Availability can change, so check the official event page for the latest booking details and any age guidance before you go.
Location
The Stand Edinburgh is at 5 York Place in the New Town, close to St Andrew Square. It is one of the city’s best-known comedy venues and regularly hosts touring comedians alongside its own club nights.
Getting There
The venue is a short walk from Edinburgh Waverley and close to bus routes through York Place and St Andrew Square. Trams also stop nearby, making public transport the easiest way to get there.
Our Tips
- Afternoon start times can be popular, so booking ahead is sensible.
- If you are meeting friends first, St Andrew Square and York Place are only a short walk away.
- The venue is seated, but arriving in good time can still make the visit more relaxed.
