From The Stand to the city's theatres: all comedy and cabaret in Edinburgh, tonight and this week.
Questions about comedy
Where can I see stand-up comedy in Edinburgh?
The Stand says it has a club in Edinburgh and calls its room "arguably the world's most perfect stand-up room". Cabaret and bigger shows play in the city's theatres.
What is an open mic?
At an open mic new comedians take the stage for the first time and known comedians test new material. Entry is often free or a small fee.
