# The Comedy Lock-In

**Guidekin's take:** Watch a changing bill of stand-up acts in an intimate room above a working pub, with the audience close to the performers. Admission is included, while food and drinks at the bar cost extra; the venue is not wheelchair accessible. 4.55 from 106 reviews at €18 per person for 1h 45m.

## Overview

Edinburgh's original Gig Above a Pub Comedy Club, and the city's worst-kept secret if you know where to look. The Comedy Attic is an intimate yet electric room above a working pub, where the line-up's never the same twice and the audience is close enough to heckle (please try, we dare ya!).

Your MC is Rick Molland — "a pitch-perfect masterclass in working a room… Comedy Genius" (The Mumble) — joined each week by a rotating bill of acts pulled from the UK circuit: Fringe regulars, club headliners, the occasional name you'll recognise off the telly.

Big laughs. Strong drinks. All the late-night energy, none of the late-night finish. Tickets move fast — book ahead.

What happens in The Attic, stays in The Attic.
