The Wee Red Bar is a highly popular, intimate student bar and late-night music venue located inside the grounds of the Edinburgh College of Art. Operating since the 1980s, this 210-capacity space is a staple of Edinburgh's underground music scene. It functions as a versatile venue hosting live gigs, diverse club nights, art exhibitions, and film screenings.

After back-to-back sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and hit appearances at top festivals across Ireland and the UK, this explosive triple headline stand-up show is back! An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman – Rick Molland, Danny O'Brien and Billy Kirkwood – hit the stage with unstoppable energy, razor-sharp jokes and lightning-fast banter. This was one of the fastest-selling shows of last year’s Scottish Comedy Festival, and it’s only getting bigger, wilder and funnier. Grab your tickets now and get ready to roar!
