THE SHOW

Dan Tiernan is back at it again: and this time he’s got magic rocks in his pocket.

With a hat trick of sold-out Edinburgh Festival runs, Dan's a two-time Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee who has received countless five-star reviews. No wonder the Guardian has named him 'one of comedy’s most distinctive new voices'.

‘Loud, inventive, visceral… it’s a blast’ **** Times

Dan returns on tour armed with an amethyst, a bucketful of sage and a rose quartz the size of his impossibly large head. As seen on Live at the Apollo, 8 Out of Ten Cats Does Countdown, The Last Leg, and QI.

MONKEY BARREL COMEDY

Monkey Barrel Comedy has been ‘Scotland’s Best Comedy Venue’ since 2020 (Chortle Awards) and was described by The List as “a year-round Edinburgh institution”. It has over 500 5-star reviews on TripAdvisor, making it one of the city’s top-rated year-round attractions.

The club was home to both of 2022's Edinburgh Comedy Awards winners, Best Comedy Show 2023 and Best Comedy Show and Best Newcomer 2024. It has been described as the "Beating Heart" of the Fringe by The Telegraph and “the best comedy club in the world” by comedian Olga Koch. 

“What a comedy club you’ve got there, Edinburgh!” (Kevin Bridges)

“Down there at the Monkey Barrel, there's something in the water, AND I CAN'T STOP DRINKING IT!” (Sam Campbell)
