Comedians stand up to cancer at the Edinburgh Fringe

The Stand announces Edinburgh shows and new deal for artists

With growing noise about the extortionate costs of the Edinburgh Fringe for artists, The Stand - Edinburgh's best full-time, year-round comedy club - is listening. Founded on the basis of a fair deal for artists and committed to that promise ever since, The Stand's first announcement of Edinburgh Fringe shows in 2023 comes with the news that their deal has been revised to drop venue hire costs and not increase ticket prices.
