THE STUDIO

The Studio is located at 51 Niddry Street, a very short walk from Barrel Bar (<2 mins).

TODAY IN THE STUDIO:

Adam Flood: Life and Death of the Party

10PM

CabVol 2

Standup performed over big electronic beats. A show about hedonism and Adam’s vanishing nightlife. ‘It shouldn’t work, but it absolutely does’, Metro. ‘A multifaceted comedy talent', Guardian. As seen on BBC and ITV. Adam Flood, from Stoke-on-Trent, was once a teenage drug-dealer, then an indie rockstar, now a comedian.

William Thompson: Touch Grass

10:05PM

O'Neill's (The Tron)

The government wants to ban under-16s from social media, but is it really that bad? Having been raised by the internet, Belfast comic William Thompson ponders if other generations should do the same – or if they should go outside and touch grass. The new hour-long show from William Thompson (LazyBoyz, Tea With Me, Channel 4) features Thompson's trademark dark, punchy style tackling the subject of social media.

Dan Tiernan: Quartz and All

10:25PM

MB1

Dan Tiernan is back at it again: and this time he’s got magic rocks in his pocket. With a hat trick of sold-out Edinburgh shows, Dan's a double Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee, who has received countless five-star reviews. No wonder the Guardian has named him 'one of comedy’s most distinctive new voices'.

Paul Hilleard: Grogg

10:40PM

The Studio

BBC New Comedian of the Year 2024, Channel 4's Sean Lock Award finalist 2025 and winner of Chortle Hotshots 2026 debuts this Fringe! Hailing from Pontypridd in the South Welsh Valleys, Paul shares experiences of growing up in a deprived area. Expect dry oddball observations from the Valleys and beyond! Content includes; market towns, God, gates, the class system, hot food, relationships, yoga, landlords, Epstein.

Finlay Christie: Champagne Casanova

10:40PM

MB4

Finlay misguidedly believes that his muggers fancied him, that being a f*ckboy is cool and that Kim Jong Un would love him. Funny, self-aware and internet-brained, this is an hour about the myths constructed by incels, billionaires and even human people, that mean we don’t have to admit we’re ordinary, rejected or wrong. There’s also a strong section on air fryers.

The Alternative Comedy Memorial Society (ACMS)

11:55PM

MB1

Glorious, inventive, late-night knees-up! A resplendent ceremony in an air-conditioned room! More than two magnificent hours of ridiculous displays of comedic enterprise, dancing and frolicking. All guided by Mister Thom Tuck - 'fruity, befuddled and increasingly melancholy' (Guardian) - before onward carriages at your own discretion. All thirteen performances will be precisely unique. Permitted heckles! Delightful atmosphere!

Filippo Spreafico: Italian Rhapsody

10:55PM

CabVol 1

The Italian wild card of comedy blends stand-up and live music in a subversive, high-energy hour packed with unexpected turns and surreal observations on failed relationships, life abroad and pigeons

Luke Rollason: Alas! (WIP)

11:25PM

CabVol 2

This prophecy will be my last. Come on a fool's errand to the tunnel at the end of the light for absurd antics and apocalyptic visions from the BAFTA-winning 'standard-bearer of UK Clown' (Guardian).

Sam Eley is Basil Crumbwick: Soul Sewage

11:25PM

MB2

Say hello to a horrid bloke. Award-winning late-night villainy from an uncomfortable mind. 'I was in danger of throwing up from laughing' (Tim Harding, Chortle.co.uk). 'A virtuoso display of comic writing' (Steve Bennett, Chortle.co.uk). Winner of Sketch-Off 2025. Leicester Square New Comedian of the Year finalist.

David Correos: Noise Zealand

11:30PM

O'Neill's (The Tron)

David here! This is the perfect late-night event for you! End your Edinburgh day with me!! Your brain’s gonna melt out of your ears. If you’re still reading this get a ticket cause these words are only the beginning of the adventure!! I’ve made a comedy rave that blends my favourite tracks to dance to with chaos that I’ve been honing in Aus and NZ over the past two years.
