The Stand

Frommer's Review

Given the importance today of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where good notices can launch a comedian's career, the stand-up is, umm, taken very seriously in the Scottish capital. The Stand, just down the hill from St. Andrew's Square, is the premier, purpose-built local venue. Big acts are reserved for weekend nights, while local talent tries its jokes and tales during the week. On Sunday you can combine yucks for free with brunch.
