Big contemporary Scottish names like Frankie Boyle made their first steps here, Fred MacAulay is a regular and we're always on the lookout for the best newcomers on the scene.

Hundreds of fresh faced wannabe comedians have endured the sphincter-rupturing terror of their first five minutes at an open mic at our Red Raw nights. Some progress to the ten and fifteen minutes of the gradually seasoning hopeful and a relative few turn pro, tour the UK, have their own shows and maybe even beyond.

Scottish comedians are born at The Stand, flourish at The Stand and return to The Stand after they're done conquering the arenas of the world. So who else would you trust to bring you the cream of Scottish talent this Fringe?

Join our ace comperes Susan Morrison, Fred MacAulay, Raymond Mearns and Bruce Devlin as they introduce the best acts in Scotland today, including Vladimir McTavish, Bruce Morton, Kevin Bridges and David Kay.

Best of Scottish Comedy is an ever changing mix of top comperes and four acts including an introduction to an up and coming Scottish newcomer who's coming up through the ranks and guaranteed quality headliners.

The job of supervising an hour and forty minutes jam-packed with laughs is not one to be taken lightly. That's why we'd only trust The Stand's charismatic resident comperes with the task. Whether its fiesty Susan Morrison, in-your-face Raymond Mearns, heckler-decimating Joe Heenan or BBC Radio Scotland morning regular Fred Macaulay, you'll be in safe hands. There's not a crowd alive that they can't whip up into a frenzy or a room in the world that won't fall under their spell.

Lovingly curated by those most passionate about Scottish comedy, Best of Scottish Comedy is a raucous, witty and all-embracing introduction to your temporary country of residence. And all for less than the cost of a tartan bunnet and a ghost tour.
