My girlfriend (23) and I (28) went to The Stand during a holiday we had in Edinburghas we wanted to do something different. We went to the 'Red Raw' night - which i believe happens every Monday and shows up to ten comedians who are either beginners to the comedy circuit or who are trying out new material. It ended...

We visited The Stand on a recent two night stay in Edinburgh, upon deciding to do something 'different' on our Wednesday night. For the £4 entry for two hours of entertainment, it really was a bargain! The in-house comedians were fab, a few questionable sketches.. But they knew that as well as we did... I hope Steph E Grant is... More

I was unfortunate enough to be invited by a friend to join him to visit The Stand 'Comedy' Club again and nothing has changed, the comedians we saw where not really funny, over protected beginners with social and political issues looking for a podium to vent their distorted views safely in the knowledge that any heckling is immediately crushed by...

Went here on a Thursday. Arrived half an hour after opening and all the chairs with tables were full which was a bit of a pain as we wanted to eat, however there were plenty of other chairs still free so shared some nachos (as they are easy to eat without a table)which were great. The acts generally were very... More

Went on a Thursday night. We had a good laugh although the boys enjoyed some of the jokes more. its quite small but the staff tried to get us seats at the back & they were helpful. Enjoyed but wont rush back different acts all the time. No food just the bar. More

We went on a Thursday night... 2 out of the 5 comedians were quite funny... However! Very expensive to get in, limited slection of over priced drinks and club rules were posted everywhere you looked, for example 'please don't chat whilst the acts are onstage!' 'Interludes are for chatting and buying drinks!' 'the stairs are wet, don't slip!' 'If you... More
