Our long-running weekly beginner’s showcase is regarded as the best open mic night in the UK.
Catch up to ten new acts – some treading the boards for the very first time. This is where everyone starts and it’s your chance to see the stars of tomorrow today.
Watch out for older hands dropping in to try out new material too.
With Ross Leslie and host Megan Shandley

Arrive Early for Seating
DURING RESTRICTED TIMES DUE TO CORONAVIRUS PLEASE REFER TO THE LISTING PAGE AND ADDITIONAL BOOKING EMAILS SENT TO YOU FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.
Tickets for the majority of our shows can be collected at the venue door upon entry however we would still advise arriving a little in advance of our door opening time. This allows you to join a queue as all venues are general admission and a mixture of seating and standing room. This is especially true for Edinburgh and Newcastle if you aim to eat in our clubs as seating with tables tend to be taken quite quickly and we can’t allocate or reserve seating in advance for that purpose.
For Edinburgh Fringe dates during August, we advise you arrive at least 30 minutes before doors open for your selected shows to collect your festival tickets. This allows you to join a queue as all venues are general admission. All venues are seated apart from Stand 1 which is seating and standing room. There is no food service during Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
