Step into a bygone era in this Fringe venue in the heart of Edinburgh’s New Town. A hidden gem tucked away in the Royal Scots Club, The Speakeasy brings you 1920s glamour mixed with an exciting and diverse programme of shows, lectures and events.

Join a fun and family-friendly ceilidh with live and lively traditional Scottish music and dancing. No prior experience is necessary as all the dances will be taught there and then by our expert caller and no need to bring a partner. Everyone is welcome, so come as a group, come as a family or come by yourself.

Ceilidh at the Speakeasy

The 2024 sell-out returns with a brand-new interactive murder mystery event. 1927, prohibition is in full swing, but you can still get a drink if you know where to look. Join the party at illegal speakeasy The Snapper, run by notorious British duo the Fisher sisters. Meet their rag-tag collection of staff and performers while witnessing fights, rivalries and wrong-doings aplenty. When the inevitable happens, follow the clues and interrogate the suspects to work out whodunnit. A glamourous and immersive evening of suspense and sleuthing with 1920s dress encouraged.

Murder at the Speakeasy II

A stand-up comedy drawing on anecdotes and stories linked to my autobiography, showing that despite being visually-impaired and a wheelchair user, one can get round most barriers in life! I relate tales about my many experiences and funny events and challenges that could only happen to a person like me! I've climbed Snowdon, done wing walks and been skiing amongst other crazy things, none of which have passed without incident!
