What's On in Edinburgh
Tuesday 27 October 2026 · This weekend · City guide
Tuesday in Edinburgh proves once again that the city refuses to let a weekday feel ordinary. From a candlelit church ringing with world-class guitar to the Royal Mile's most raucous comedy basement, there is a genuinely brilliant night out waiting for every kind of person this evening. Pull on your coat, step out into the autumn air, and let the city do its thing.
Highlights
Dengin Ceyhan Edinburgh Concert — Stockbridge Parish Church is one of those venues that makes the music feel twice as alive, and tonight it hosts guitarist Dengin Ceyhan in what promises to be an intimate and spellbinding evening of live performance. The combination of a sacred, stone-walled space and a virtuoso artist is the kind of thing that stays with you long after the last note fades. Doors are at 7:30pm — check the website for ticket prices and to secure your seat before they go.

Rollers Forever — If you ever danced to a Bay City Rollers record and felt something shift in your chest, Kings Theatre is the place to be tonight at 7:30pm. This joyful tribute show brings the tartan-clad glam pop of Edinburgh's most beloved chart-toppers roaring back to life in one of the city's most beloved grand theatres. It is nostalgic, it is euphoric, and it is exactly the sort of night that has the whole audience on its feet before the end of the first song — check the website for ticket details.

Spandex Comedy - 5 Star Comedy Every Tuesday Night In Edinburgh — Dragonfly has quietly become one of Edinburgh's most reliable comedy haunts, and Spandex Comedy's Tuesday night residency is the reason why. For just £6 you get a full evening of sharp, unpredictable stand-up from a rotating lineup that keeps even regular attendees on their toes. Grab a drink, find a seat by 7:45pm, and prepare to laugh considerably harder than you expected to on a Tuesday.

The Comedy Cellar Edinburgh Live Stand-Up Comedy — Down on the Canongate, The Canons Gait opens its doors to one of Edinburgh's most electric comedy nights at 8:00pm. The Comedy Cellar has a well-earned reputation for booking acts who are genuinely at the top of their game, and the low-ceilinged, atmospheric setting means every punchline lands that much harder. At £12 it is terrific value for a night that will have you quoting lines to your friends all week.
