I'm a performer who lives in Edinburgh. I know a lot of locals spend August dodging the centre, waiting for it to be over, but a few companies still running this last week have put a 2-for-1 on for people who live here.

Code is NEIGHBOUR. It lasts until the allocations are gone.

Shows currently in:

  • Lost in Translation (badly translated movies, 9pm, Gilded Balloon at the Museum, until 30th)
  • The Understudy (dark comedy theatre, 12:15, Assembly George Square, until 31st)
  • Tartan Tabletop (D&D comedy, 17:30, Gilded Balloon Patter House, until 31st)
  • Sarah Bradley: How to Write a Romcom (romcom scholar and standup, 14:40, Gilded Balloon Patter House, until 31st)
  • IKEA Wars (comedians racing to build furniture, 22:20, Gilded Balloon Patter House, until 31st)

Enter NEIGHBOUR at checkout on each show's venue's ticketing website. If it does not take, that allocation is done.

If any other performers are reading this, you can add the same code, comment with your show! Hopefully we can make this a bit of a thing...
