The Stand Christmas Special runs in Edinburgh from Thursday 17 to Saturday 19 December 2026. Each show starts at 8pm, with doors at 7pm and an approximate finish of 10pm.
The line-up is still to be confirmed, but the format is a full seasonal stand-up bill featuring several comedians rather than a single touring headline act.

What To Expect
The Stand’s Christmas Special is one of the club’s larger seasonal mixed-bill nights. A host and several acts share the stage, giving the evening the pace of a club showcase while keeping the material and atmosphere tied to the final week before Christmas.
The performers have not yet been announced. The venue describes the bill as drawing comedians from Scotland, the wider UK, and beyond, so check again nearer December for the confirmed host and acts for each night.
Tickets & Entry
Tickets are listed from £18 to £22, with a £1 booking fee per ticket capped at £6 per transaction. The event is strictly 18+, and the venue may ask for photo ID. Availability is handled separately for each of the three dates.
Location
The Stand Edinburgh is at 5 York Place in the New Town. It is an intimate basement comedy club, so seating and views are closer to a traditional club setup than a theatre auditorium.
Getting There
The York Place tram stop is close to the venue, and St Andrew Square is a short walk away. Waverley Station can be reached on foot in around ten minutes.
Our Tips
- Check the exact date before booking because the line-up may differ across the three nights.
- Bring valid photo ID for the 18+ entry policy.
- Arrive soon after doors open if you want time to order drinks and settle before the 8pm start.
