Went to an open mic night on a Monday night with low expectations really & we didn’t stop laughing! Service at the bar was great, all the acts were funny and the host (think her name was Amy Matthews) smashed it, although we both said we would’ve liked to have seen more of her. All in all was a great night and I would highly recommend!

So fortunate that the Fringe Fest was going on when we visited Edinburgh. As such, we were able to buy tickets online at the Stand Comedy Club where we got to immensely enjoy four wonderful and hilarious comedians that were the club's pick of the Fringe! All comedians engaged the wonderful crowd. Great venue!

Went to see the weekly Comedy Show here in mid-Jan. It's a perfect place for a comedy gig - feels intimate with a really amazing atmosphere. Staff were friendly and helpful, and drinks very reasonable. Great show with hilarious acts too. Great night!
