What's On in Edinburgh
Tuesday 23 June 2026
Tuesday nights in Edinburgh have a reputation for being quietly brilliant, and the 23rd of June 2026 is no exception. The city's comedy scene is firing on all cylinders this evening, with two crackling live shows offering the perfect midweek antidote to whatever the day has thrown at you. Pull on your jacket, head into town, and let someone else do the hard work of making you laugh.
Highlights
Spandex Comedy - 5 Star Comedy Every Tuesday Night In Edinburgh — Tucked inside the stylish Dragonfly bar, Spandex Comedy has quietly become one of Edinburgh's most beloved weekly fixtures, delivering polished stand-up in an intimate, convivial setting. Kicking off at 7:45pm, it is an early enough start to leave you buzzing for the rest of the evening, and at just £6 it is arguably the best-value night out in the city right now. Expect sharp material, a warm crowd, and the kind of room where the laughter feels genuinely shared.
The Comedy Cellar Edinburgh Live Stand-Up Comedy — The Canon's Gait Pub on the Royal Mile is one of those proper Edinburgh boozers that feels like it was built for exactly this kind of night, and The Comedy Cellar makes excellent use of every atmospheric inch of it. Doors at 8:00pm mean you have time to settle in with a drink before the acts hit their stride, and the £12 ticket price buys you a full evening of live stand-up from performers who know how to work a room. If you want your Tuesday to end with your sides aching, this is where to be.
