Fun experience

Sandra_B, Apr 2025

This was our first time visiting Scotland and this was a great experience. The acts were funny and the venue was cool.

10/10 great time

Chose to do this last minute, turned out to be a great time. The energy was high and the drinks were good. The comedians did some great crowd work.

Interesting journey into Scottish humor (perhaps?)

Lydia_H, Feb 2025

Located in the Beehive Inn, I had hoped to eat there before the show, but they had a private party so I couldn't. The show was on the 3rd floor so if stairs are a problem, you may want to reconsider. The show was interesting but not as funny as I expected. Maybe it was Scottish self deprivation humor. The first part was the host talking to almost everyone in the audience with amusing comments. Just chairs, no tables for drinks, but admittedly in the process of renovation.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Hey thanks for the review. I'm pretty sure food would've been available of the ground floor before the show. It's not something connected the comedy club as we are very much a gig above pub. But, food is generally served all day. Amusing comments are sort of the name of the game. We do have photo's of the venue of this site so it's clear how the room is laid out. Over the coming weeks the room is undergoing a lot of work, you caught us in the middle of those renovations. As for the the fact the gig is on the third floor, I can't do much about that we're The Comedy Attic - Attic's in general tend to be up a few flights of stairs, especially in historic Edinburgh pubs dating back to the 16th Century.

The show was cancelled

Good evening we enjoyed it

This is a good venue, a compère and 2 comedians. Wasn't a large audience the evening we went but the 3 people worked hard to generate an atmosphere. Was good enough, but might have been better on another night with more people in.

The Hammmma is the bomb!

It was a great night! The only negative I can say is that it was extremely hot!!!! I’d recommend adding some fans bc the body heat & laughter make it unpleasant. The opener was amazing!!! She made me laugh so hard I almost cried-especially with all ladies in the house!!!

Didn’t even get to see the show

Rowan_M, Feb 2022

When arriving into the beehive inn we were told to get a drink at the bar & wait in the room next door until we were told and called by a member of team to go into the function room for the comedy night. Time went by and we never got shouted by anyone, when i did come to ask the same man who told us that we would be told to go in, they said it had already started and when we eventually decided to run up very late it had actually ended and people were coming out. It was for my grans birthday so she was quite dissatisfied & I was also disappointed.. hoping to get a refund because this was all not our fault, bad communication & we were actually in early so that we could get a good seat etc.

Avoid, not actually running.

Cannot believe Viator took our money knowing full well this event was not currently running due to Covid-19. Oh and you can still book tickets for the next show online! Shocking!
