Great mixture of comedians giving it their best shot in an early afternoon slot, great atmosphere and great venue

Funny bursts of stand-up - I could have gone for shorter sets with more comedians, but I suppose that could be more challenging logistically.

A different line up every day. As expected, you get the good with the bad. Two comedians stood out for us. The Pleasance Courtyard Cabaret Bar is the perfect venue for comedy.

When I come back to the Fringe I'll be seeing this show again, it's different each day and introduces you to comedians you didn't know you wanted to see. Ian Coppinger was the MC on the one I went to and he was brilliant, Andrew Ryan, Raul Kohli, Luke Chilton and Justin Moorhouse was on our line up, all of which were fab!

A Fringe tip is to see a showcase or ‘best of’ show as early as possible. Sure, you won’t know if these really are the best on offer, but it’s a safe way to find out.
