A monthly comedy club night hosted by Dabster’s tea boy where we can try out new ideas, trial new talent and record live comedy for our radio series.

Monthly at the Stand Comedy Club in Edinburgh Richard Melvin hosts a night of comedy to a packed and somewhat regular audience. The thought was that “10,000 hours is never enough” – how else can we learn new things, discover new talent and tweek new formats?

The live club nights give us a chance to go on safari with all of our production work, and a chance to record for our live comedy programming on BBC Radio Scotland and BBC Radio 4 and 4 Extra. So far we have recorded for the John Moloney Show, 4 Extra Stands Up, A Funny Kind of.., The Good, The Bad and The Unexpected and will continue to do so in what is widely regarded as the best comedy club in the country.

Our relationship with The Stand allows us to try new things too, from the pilot podcasts to brand new material from established comedians with no other stage to turn to.

You can get your tickets from The Stand, sometimes there's tickets on the door but not always.
