You’ll find us ensconced on the fourth floor of the St James Quarter - Edinburgh's contemporary retail and lifestyle district. With a 170-capacity bar and restaurant, we will be offering our 30-seater all-weather terrace as a Fringe space for any interested Acts. The terrace itself enjoys views onto Register Square - which boasts phenomenal daily footfall - and comes equipped with heaters, tables, chairs and mood-lighting in the evening.

We might not be your first choice, but when has your first choice ever really worked out anyway? Four international comedians share brutally funny stories about dating, rejection, careers and always coming second... or not at all. This is a parade of commiseration for anyone who’s ever been overlooked – in relationships, in work, in life, and everything in between. We've done over 1,000 shows across Europe and this show has performed sold-out runs in the Netherlands. Come see us. This is a comedy line-up that finds humour in all of life’s disappointments.

No One's First Choice

New Yorker turned Berlin comedian Max Elias, with a lot to say about both places, offers up wild observations, out-of-pocket comparisons and gleefully warped conclusions – it’s all good for a laugh at Airplane Baby. Identity, social commentary, a whole lot of dark thoughts the average baby definitely doesn't have, and barbed musings abound throughout this hour-long comic barrage. Get ready to be "educated" through a series of culture shocks, mismatched expectations and seemingly random facts. You'll come in wondering what an airplane baby is supposed to be and leave a couple kilos lighter from laughter.
