About

The Good, The Bad & The Irish – Live Stand-Up Comedy Every Night at The Comedy Cellar, Canon’s Gait, Edinburgh

Looking for the best stand-up comedy in Edinburgh? Welcome to The Good, The Bad & The Irish – a five-star rated, underground comedy show in Edinburgh’s historic Royal Mile, hosted every night of the week in The Comedy Cellar at The Canon’s Gait.

This isn’t your typical comedy night. This is raw, alternative comedy with a rebellious edge – featuring a rotating lineup of top Irish, Scottish and international comedians. Think late-night laughs, unfiltered stand-up, and an electric atmosphere that’s made this show a Fringe favourite and year-round hit with locals and tourists alike.

 Why It's Edinburgh’s Must-See Comedy Show:

  • Live comedy Edinburgh every night – no repeats, no filler, just fresh, brutal honesty from the funniest acts on tour.

  • Hosted by Michael Porter, the Irish comic with a cult following and a mouth that never holds back.

  • Featured in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and praised as “so Irish it looks like it might actually hurt.”

  • Ranked as one of the top comedy clubs in Edinburgh, and the only one offering 5 star rated stand-up comedy on the Royal Mile 7 nights a week.
