ALL SHOWS TODAY:

Marc Jennings: If & When

7:35PM

MB1

Glaswegian comedian and Some Laugh podcast host Marc Jennings returns to the Fringe with his trademark sharp observations on current events, politics and relationships. Sold-out Edinburgh Fringe 2022-2025. 'Killer lines' (Scotsman). 'Will be a household name very soon' (Rolling Stone). 'An astute observer who is adept at channelling his frustrations into a wider social critique' (Chortle.co.uk)

Sean Morley: Backchannel

7:50PM

The Studio

The future has arrived. Mouth wet and eyes hungry. Elusive comedy cherub and fully adult citizen, Sean Morley has reinvented comedy for the slurried minds of broken Britain. You can say anything these days. 'Brilliant, best thing I’ve seen at the fringe' (Chortle.co.uk). 'A one-of-a-kind comedian' **** (Skinny).

Geoffrey Asmus: Patriautism

7:50PM

MB4

Americans are the best at imperialism and comedy. We have already proven the first. I am here to prove the latter. Many shows at the Fringe have a narrative throughline and a cute little callback at the end. My show mostly concentrates on being incredibly funny. And if you listen closely you might also just learn something in this uproarious ode to a failing empire.

Rosco McClelland: The Bones

8:05PM

CabVol 1

Rosco is back at the Fringe following two smash hit shows in 2024 and 2025. A new show about human evolution, brain and body connections and hamsters. Also he’ll be asking the question... what makes him tick? Winner of the Sir Billy Connolly Spirit of Glasgow Award 2025. 'For guaranteed laughter, don't miss Rosco McClelland' (Edinburgh Evening News). 'One of the country’s best acts' (List).

The Big Show: Monkey Barrel Comedy's Fringe Showcase!

MB3

Scotland's best comedy venue and 'the beating heart of the Fringe' (Telegraph) welcomes back its Fringe showcase for 2026! A new line-up every night, presenting the very best acts from their line-up and the rest of the Fringe.

Kate Dolan: Trout

8:35PM

MB2

Join award-winning comedian Kate Dolan for her brand new hour of rapid-fire, off-kilter stand up. In 2026, is being a fish in the river nicer than a woman on land? 'Irrepressibly funny... reminiscent of Jim Carrey' **** (Scotsman). 'Her performance screams star quality' **** (Chortle.co.uk). 'A wild assault of jokes, voices, act outs and asides... Where have you been all of my comedy life?' **** (Fest).

Harriet Dyer: Easily Distra...

8:35PM

CabVol 2

Hark! Harriet Dyer (Live at the Apollo, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown and Channel 4 Sean Lock Comedy Award winner) shall permeate your glockenspiel with tales of wetsuits on buses, bee siblings and cows that cure baldness! 'A must-see and a masterclass of originality' **** (NeurodiverseReview.co.uk). 'Delightfully chaotic' (EdFestMag.com).

Alice Fraser: Oh Man!

8:40PM

O'Neill's (The Tron)

One of the Telegraph’s 50 Best Comedians of the 21st Century. She’s decided she actually quite likes men and wants to help. There are a lot of men telling men how to be, and how to optimise life, business and testosterone.

Lou Wall: Where Are All The Tall Grandmas?

9:15PM

MB4

Where are all the tall grandmas? Be honest, you’ve never seen one, have you? So where the f#%k are they? Do they shrink? Die young? Are short kings eating them? In this hilariously unhinged new hour, Lou dives head first into the disappearance of tall old women everywhere. A comedic investigation into height, heritage and what it truly means to live large.

Ryan Cullen: Cullen Me Softly

9:15PM

The Studio

Cullen Me Softly is a brand-new hour of sharp, pitch-black one-liners from a comic who isn’t afraid to stare directly into the world’s uglier corners. From the rise of racism in the UK to global tensions, cultural absurdities and the chaos unfolding in places like America, the show digs into the darker side of modern life with a grin and a scalpel. Cullen also turns that same uncompromising lens on his own upbringing, picking apart the moments – both grim and ridiculous – that shaped him.
