Best Comedy & Stand-up in Edinburgh

Katherine Ryan at EICC

Katherine Ryan

Since moving to the UK in 2008, Katherine Ryan has risen to become one of the country's most recognisable comedians. Cutting her teeth on all the usual panel shows, including Mock The Week, Taskmaster et al, she has proven her live chops in two hit specials, In Trouble and The Glitter Room, created and starred in her own Netflix show, The Duchess. Now heading out her fourth tour, Battleaxe catch this razor-sharp modern comedy icon when she brings the laughs to you!

Greg Davies at Edinburgh Playhouse Theatre

Greg Davies

From the hilarious head of sixth form in The Inbetweeners to the sardonic host of Taskmaster, Greg Davies has had us in stitches with his delightfully deadpan delivery, managing to elicit laughs with just a crook of an eyebrow. Catch the gigantic (literally, he's 6ft 8) comedian as he sets out on his biggest tour yet in 2025 - Full Fat Legend.

Rob Beckett at Edinburgh Playhouse Theatre

Rob Beckett

Comedian, TV presenter and podcaster Rob Beckett heads out with a brand new tour, Giraffe, stretching out for a mammoth run starting in late 2024 all the way through until 2026! Having recently launched a brand new comedy panel show, Smart TV, on Sky Max, the all-rounder is one of the leading figures in UK comedy. His genuine working class style and witty observations on class have proved a massive hit with audiences and viewers from all angles, with Beckett equally at home co-presenting the BAFTAs or Wedding Day Winners as he is onstage comically recounting his past days touring grotty pubs with an empty bank account.

Dara O'Briain at Edinburgh Playhouse Theatre

Dara O'Briain

After the success of his last jaunt: 'So, Where Were We?' Dara O Briain is back on the road with a brand new show: Re:Creation. He's one of Britain's most recognizable faces thanks to appearances on Mock The Week, Robot Wars, and Star Gazing Live, he returns to his live comedy roots, bringing a whirlwind of erudite humor and fast-talking wit along for the ride.
