Whispers in the Cosmos

Whispers in the Cosmos

The show isn't entirely about space, although it takes place in space. As all shows do but rarely acknowledge it. Whispers in the Cosmos is probably an existentialist quest wearing a stand up comedy costume. 

Tales from the Fireside

Tales from the Fireside

Edinburgh’s infamous ghosts descend upon The Fireside venue to retell the gruesome stories from the past. Did I mention it’s a children’s show? But surprisingly enough, Tales from the Fireside presents these otherwise graphic and gory tales in a way that is appropriate, sometimes relatable but most importantly funny for all audiences - children and adults alike...

Sometimes you don't choose the life, the life chooses you! In the wake of becoming unexpectedly single, and even more unexpectedly turning 50, a fierce and funny feminist finds out what it's like when your favourite joke becomes your reality! From break-ups to wake-ups (and make-up!), it's a fresh and funny look at dating later and ever after... 

Vaudeville and Vice

Vaudeville and Vice

Swoon into the arms of the Roaring 20s with Vaudeville and Vice! Born in America, raised on the road – a classy coterie of dancing, singing circus swingers conjure an early-evening revue in the intimate Last Arch Theatre...

Neither: Identity Crisis!

Neither: Identity Crisis!

Love Like 90s R'n'B

Love Like 90s R'n'B

A rump-shaking stand-up comedy hour of phat beats, funky rhythms, ukulele and fun. Larissa grew up in the 90s and, just like any teenager, growing up had its difficulties – but it was OK because "mentors" like TLC helped her deal with the scrubs while Boyz II Men helped her at the end of the road... 

Naomi McDonald: Stardumb

Naomi McDonald: Stardumb

Impressionist Naomi McDonald smashes down the doors to celebs\' dressing rooms, grabs them by the scruff of the neck and body slams them onto the stage. Nigella Lawson defrosts meals in her bathtub, Melania Trump hits the bottle hard and Adele sings her heart out over a custard cream... 

Spontaneous Combustion

Spontaneous Combustion

Hold onto your drinks, Paradise Palms' infamous late-night showcase of provocative performance, queer cabaret and abstract experimenta toasts itself by the Fireside. Hosted by Pollyanna and Shoot Your Shot plus a few more surprises! Raucous glittery carnage – so brace yourself...
