THE STUDIO

Observational nerd comedy from Pierre Novellie before bedtime. Come and see – it might be years before he wakes up!

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.

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.

Irish comedian Katie Boyle brings her new personal dark comedy show. A show about being naturalized in the United States under an administration she is scared of, holding on to her Irish identity and being in a long-distance relationship with an Irish man.

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)

Three-time Edinburgh Fringe Best Show nominee, Josie Long tries out some new ideas, but please be reassured that you are in the safe hands of an accomplished professional. 'Idealism and irrepressible fun are never far from the surface when Long stakes to the stage' **** (Guardian). ***** (Morning Star).

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.

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 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).

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.
