The Big Show
As well as solo shows from the incredible roster of acts, The BIG SHOW returns to the Fringe! Monkey Barrel Comedy’s top rated, sold out weekend extravaganza is on every night at 22:15, with a top mixed-bill line-up each evening.
The Venues

Located in a traditional Old Town building in the heart of Edinburgh, the multi-award-winning Monkey Barrel Comedy is a renowned comedy venue.
