This popular bar hosts great PBH Free Fringe comedy in the arch cave every day during the Fringe. Between shows, you can watch live big screen sports or simply enjoy the bar banter with beers. Over-18s only.

A completely and utterly stupid stand-up comedy show from Dickie Richards, the one and only Polish-Cockney comedian. Renowned as the most hilarious, handsome and modest man in showbiz, Dickie delivers a very silly hour of absurdity, packed with great jokes and ridiculous yet "true" stories. From the mysteries of love and the universe to war, pubic hair, home renovations and sounds from distant worlds, no topic is off-limits. If you want serious comedy then this show is not for you. Warning: this show features pyrotechnics. Warning: this show is stupid.

Even more legally distinct! Remember childhood favourite Guess Who? It's that but based on vibes and played with you, the lovely audience. Failure is certain. A good time not absolutely guaranteed but quite likely. It's a very silly party show, I think you'll have fun with it. Hot on the heels of 2024's James Ross Does Guess Who, James Ross will be Guessing Who even harder, if such a thing were possible. The brains behind Quantum Leopard. Five-time Chortle Award winner. ***** (One4Review.co.uk). **** (Daily Mirror). '[The] irresistible momentum of a drunk on an obstacle course' (Socialist).

James Ross Does Guess Who 2: Now Even Guessier

Bilal Rashid’s debut show is an unapologetic exploration of modern life, identity and absurdity. With savage punchlines, dark humour and unapologetic satire, he dives into everything from religion and immigration to Tinder and the weirdest corners of British culture. A chaotic mix of self-deprecation and surreal observations, Bilal’s comedy leaves no stone unturned, making no one safe. A perfect fit for fans of politically incorrect stand-up, absurdity and fearless jokes. Expect the unexpected and prepare for a ride through hilariously dark territory. Not for the easily offended.

Asli is and has always been a Tomboy. Born in the 1980s, back when no one even knew they had pronouns to defend, Asli was already on her own gender-fluid journey, climbing trees and shunning skirts. As a teenager, things got complicated. As a TomAdult she now thinks she knows better than to kowtow to Instagram grooming levels. But does it have to be so... ahem... binary? Join her on this comedic coming-of-age gender journey. 'Enjoyable and illuminating' *** (One4Review.co.uk). 'Bold and hilarious relatable content delivered with the ease of a stand-up comedy veteran' ***** (TheFringeMinge.com).
