THE SHOW

Everything changed the day Adam wrote that blurb for his show. Unaware of the power held by words like "standup", "lad from Stoke" and "good", it set off a chain of events that led whoever read the blurb to the time and location specified below to experience something hard to describe specifically without making it sound shit. 
Following a hit debut show, The Times – Top 3 Rising Stars of the Fringe is back with a fresh new hour. Holding a spoon up to society and himself, expect high-energy stand-up, laced with music and audio clips. ‘Despicably multi talented’ (Ivo Graham).

‘Extremely funny, with a superb lightness of touch’ ★★★★★ (TheRealChrisparkle.com).

‘Highly highly recommended’ ★★★★ (Mervyn Stutter’s Pick of The Fringe).
Broadway World ★★★★
Ed Fringe Review ★★★★

As Seen On ITV2’s Stand Up Sketch Show. Top Picks of the Fringe (British Comedy Guide).

MONKEY BARREL COMEDY

Monkey Barrel Comedy has been ‘Scotland’s Best Comedy Venue’ since 2020 (Chortle Awards) and was described by The List as “a year-round Edinburgh institution”. It has over 500 5-star reviews on TripAdvisor, making it one of the city’s top-rated year-round attractions.

The club was home to both of 2022's Edinburgh Comedy Awards winners, Best Comedy Show 2023 and Best Comedy Show and Best Newcomer 2024. It has been described as the "Beating Heart" of the Fringe by The Telegraph and “the best comedy club in the world” by comedian Olga Koch. 

“What a comedy club you’ve got there, Edinburgh!” (Kevin Bridges)

“Down there at the Monkey Barrel, there's something in the water, AND I CAN'T STOP DRINKING IT!” (Sam Campbell)
