What's On in Edinburgh
Tuesday 15 September 2026 · This weekend · City guide
Tuesday nights in Edinburgh have a quiet kind of magic — the midweek lull that the city refuses to accept, filling its bars and backrooms with live sound and laughter instead. Tonight is a proper two-course evening: raw musical talent followed by sharp comedic wit, and both within easy reach of the Old Town. Pull on your jacket and get out there.
Highlights
Pat Hamilton | Sneaky Pete's. — Sneaky Pete's is one of Edinburgh's most beloved small venues — a basement room with big ears and an even bigger heart for emerging artists — and tonight it opens its doors to Pat Hamilton at 7:00pm. Whether you know the name already or you're walking in on a whim, there is something genuinely thrilling about catching a live act in a room this intimate, where you can feel every note. Check the website for ticket prices and availability, and do it soon.
Spandex Comedy - 5 Star Comedy Every Tuesday Night In Edinburgh — Dragonfly is already one of the city's most characterful cocktail bars, and on Tuesday nights it doubles as the home of Spandex Comedy — a weekly showcase that has earned its five-star reputation the hard way, through consistently delivering genuinely funny people to a genuinely warm crowd. Doors at 7:45pm, and at just £6 a ticket, it is one of the best-value laughs in the city right now. Grab a drink, grab a seat, and let the week's tensions dissolve completely.
