THE SHOW

Red Richardson is an internationally renowned stand up comedian, writer, and actor. His ‘Stay Toxic’ videos and stand up clips have well over 250 million views on Instagram alone and subsequently his shows sell out theatres and comedy clubs across the globe.

In 2023 his stand up show ‘The Best of Red Richardson’ sold out the Leicester Square Theatre in under 24 hours. In 2024 Red embarked on his Bugatti live tour, which he took to America and sold out the legendary Comedy Store in LA twice, with venues selling out months in advance and extra shows being added in every city of The UK and Ireland.

He sold out London's iconic Shepherd’s Bush Empire and added Australian and New Zealand dates due to demand in what became a 90-date global sell out tour. He is a regular performer at ‘Ricky Gervais and Friends’ live stand up shows with comedian Ricky Gervais and appeared in numerous comedy sketches with Gervais for Ricky's ‘Dutch Barn’ vodka company.

He was picked by Deadline as one of the top twenty new comedians in the world to watch for 2026 and shortly after appeared on Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight show. 

Reds special ‘Bugatti Live’ has been a smash hit on You Tube and is one of the biggest ever released by an English comic on the platform. He is about to embark on his second World Tour - The hotly anticipated Premium Economy Tour.

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.
