Nestled in a cozy basement of a former school, this comedy club showcases top-notch local and visiting talent, making for an intimate laugh-filled night.
"Comedy is a fundamental part of Scottish culture—having good craic, or banter, is basically what makes you an acceptable human being in this country. So experiencing a Scottish comedy club zeroes in on this most foundational of Scottish-isms. The Stand, a basement club with performances every night, has a bit of a cult reputation—this is where comedians go to see comedy. It's frequented mainly by locals, but the lucky tourists who know about it will see a side of Scotland they otherwise might not. Although you can book tickets for The Stand (and we recommend you do so in advance), seats aren't assigned, so your best bet is to show up before the doors open to make sure you get a spot; otherwise, you’ll be standing at the bar." - Freya Herring
