Hot Comedy
Gilded Balloon presents…
SUNDAY 5TH 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
