The Comedy Cellar Edinburgh – Home of The Good, The Bad & The Irish
Proper live comedy in a basement on the Royal Mile where you'll find everything from established acts to complete unknowns testing material.

You head down the stone stairs beneath Canongate into a low-ceilinged cellar that's sticky floors, sticky tables, the whole lot. It's the kind of room where comedy feels genuinely dangerous—no polish, no safety net, just a mic and whatever happens next. The Comedy Cellar is built on that chaotic energy, hosting The Good, The Bad & The Irish as its flagship nights, but you'll find everything from one-liner merchants to storytellers who'll have you crying into your pint. It's crammed, it's loud, and frankly, it's exactly what you want from a comedy venue in Edinburgh.
