The Stand Comedy Club
Fringe 2011

5th - 29th August

Tommy Sheppard

Welcome to the Stand Comedy Club’s 16th year on the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Yet again we’ve just got bigger. Our new Stand Five down the road at the Metropolitain Hotel in Picardy Place means there are now the same number of Stand venues on the fringe as Thunderbirds.

This year we present a staggering 46 shows every day in our five rooms. Over 1100 performances in total making us the biggest independent producer of comedy on the fringe.

There’s plenty of choice and it’s all quality stuff. We’ve hand-picked the best comics from home and abroad to create a programme that’s second to none. Scroll down to see the full line-up and simply click on the show you want to book.

Our prices are lower than our competitors because we cut out the hype and keep costs to performers down. And our package shows like the Best of Irish Comedy and the Best of Scottish Comedy offer superb value for money. The line-ups for these – and our late chat show Devlin after Dark – change daily and are listed below.

We only do comedy – and we do it every day of the year. This festival come and see comedy where it works best – in a real comedy club.
