SUNDAY 19TH OCTOBER, 19:00
Hot Comedy is a bold, inclusive comedy compilation show in Edinburgh, hosted by Nicholas Elliott and Eva Peroni.

Known for its diverse and supportive atmosphere, it showcases a mix of top headliners and rising stars from all backgrounds. The show features Queer, POC, Disabled, Female, Non-binary performers—and yes, even straight white men—creating a line-up that genuinely reflects comedy's full spectrum.

Reviews praise it as “a lovely supportive show” and “a defined space celebrating voices.” But don’t expect anything preachy—Hot Comedy focuses on being funny first, while making space for performers often sidelined in traditional comedy circles. The show offers a culturally and physically accessible environment for audiences who may feel excluded or targeted by mainstream, edgelord-style humor.

It's a night where jokes don’t come at the expense of identity, and where everyone, as long as they're funny, gets a chance to shine. Expect the next generation of comedy talent.

Hot Comedy is on every other Sunday at the Gilded Saloon, click here for more available dates.

SUNDAY 26TH OCTOBER, 19:30
Halloween night. Two world-class magicians. One chaotic, unrepeatable show.

If you’ve seen their hit show "1 Hour of Insane Magic", you already know these two aren’t your average magicians. They’ve taken their trademark chaos, razor-sharp sleight of hand, and quick-fire comedy, and for one night only; twisted it into something a little darker, a little cheekier, and a whole lot more unpredictable.

Fast-paced, fearless magic made for a grown-up crowd who want something different this Halloween.

It’s bold. It’s ridiculous. It’s absolutely not for kids. And it’s happening for one night only.

So grab a drink, grab your friends, and get ready to find out whether the night holds a trick, a treat… or both.

WEDNESDAY 3RD DECEMBER, 19:30

Six compelling short plays served up in one evening of theatrical variety. Journey from the gallows where two condemned men wait for malfunctioning execution equipment, to a funeral where a famous brother reconnects with his struggling sibling. Fall in love during a heated pub quiz night, then break down with feuding musicians at a cursed motorway service station. Discover a secret Victorian comedy club for women, before climbing a moonlit hill with two fathers contemplating vigilante justice.

From dark comedy to family drama, romance to psychological thriller, each play packs a complete emotional punch in concentrated form. These aren't sketches or extracts—they're fully realised theatrical experiences that prove sometimes the most powerful stories are told in the shortest time.

Perfect for modern audiences seeking quality drama without the three-hour commitment. Six different worlds, six complete stories, one remarkable night of theatre that will leave you thinking long after the final curtain.
