ALL SHOWS TODAY:

Celya AB: We Must Stop Meeting Like This

6:10PM

MB1

After writing for Saturday Night Live UK and selling out shows across the UK, Celya AB returns to the Fringe. Expect 'exceptional, not to mention impressively original' (Comedy.co.uk) jokes and sharp observations from 'one of the most gifted joke writers of her age' (Chortle.co.uk). Tour support for Nick Mohammed and Sarah Keyworth.

Jenny Gorelick: SORRY

6:25PM

The Studio

Jenny Gorelick presents her flirty debut hour about bad dates and worse decisions. She’d like to pre-emptively apologize to every man she’s ever dated – or ever will – for writing about them. Directed by Ashley Rodbro. As seen on Netflix Is a Joke and in Cosmopolitan. 'Fiercely funny' and 'crush-worthy, ever charming' (Time Out).

Dan Rath: Help Me Please

6:40PM

CabVol 1

You probably already know me from reading the news. In 2018, I dressed up as a sewing needle and hid inside a strawberry. There should be a French word for the moment you realize a bald dude actually has a ponytail. I'm so used to failure that success represents an existential threat.

Jonno: Here Comes Mr Funny

7:10PM

MB2

Hello son. So you’re reading back your old man’s show blurbs, are ya? This one was for my first (and, sadly, best) show Here Comes Mr Funny way back in 2026! While I have your attention, if you find a way to travel back to the past, let’s have a same-age arm wrestle. I’d love to see who comes out on top.

Evaldas Karosas: A Very Capable Man

7:10PM

CabVol 2

Take a cynical, detached mind forged in Eastern Europe and train it in the art of Western stand-up, and you’ll find A Very Capable Man. Evaldas gives a microphone to the quiet, calculating voice in the back of your head for an uncomfortably accurate comedy hour. This is a show about the thoughts we all share, but are smart enough not to say out loud.

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)

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.

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).

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!

8:30PM

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.
