Trick Or Treat - An Unpredictable Halloween Magic Show For Adults!

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.

Hot Comedy

SUNDAY 2ND NOVEMBER,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.

Come live your childhood dreams of being a LEGO® Master Builder, while fulfilling your adult dreams of having a drink!

Brick and Sip is your chance to experience escalating building chaos. Your ticket includes 1 drink on arrival to loosen up those creative gears. Our Master Builder will guide you through three hilarious challenges, from the "architecturally possible" task of building a perfect sphere from rectangular bricks, to copying a technical build without instructions, and finally, designing your brick-based dream house.

The best part? You'll get to release your inner toddler and gleefully destroy your own creation at the end (sorry, you can’t take the bricks home—we’ve counted every piece!).

Got a competitive streak? Win bonus drinks for the most impressive, innovative, or hilarious builds. Join us for a unique night of building, sipping, and destruction!
