Every jungle has its undergrowth. The wild, untamed layer where the most interesting things grow before anyone's paying attention. Comedy Canopy is Edinburgh's home for the rising stars of the Scottish comedy circuit – five performers a night, 8:45pm on George Street, doing what they do best before the rest of the world catches up. These are the acts you'll be telling people about in five years. The ones your mates haven't heard of yet. The ones who are about to become household names. Come early. Stay late. Venture into the undergrowth.
