Fat Tuesdays is a fortnightly comedy night compered by cheerful funnyman, Tiernan Douieb and held above the Compass bar on Penton Street.
Every Tuesday throughout June and July, Fat Tuesdays are holding Edinburgh preview shows, where two top stand-up comics will perform their newest material ahead of the Fringe. All the line-ups are excellent but we particularly like the look of this one.
Richard Herring produced a blinding show last year which got loads of 4 and 5 star reviews. This year he looks to top it with a show about moustaches - in particular Chaplin's.

The title of Pete Firman's show New Jokes, New Tricks might give away what's in store for the audience. There's never a dull moment at a Firman gig and we can't wait to see the latest material from this guy, hailed by many as the top comic magician in the UK.
