    The Saturday night Big Show was brilliant. Didn't really know what to expect but had an absolute blast. 5 acts, including the MC, were fantastic and it's a great little venue... professionally run but friendly and easy going with good seating/atmoshpere and QR code drinks service throughout. Loved it and definitely worth adding to a weekend in Edinburgh.

    I went on Saturday for a 7pm show and paid 13, and Monday for a 8pm show and paid 10. Both were great although Monday was much better value. I didn't book and bought tickets on the day but availability will depend on the time of the year. A must to visit
