About Stephen Gordon
Hosted by Stephen Gordon, Notes: The Comedy B-Sides is a stand-up and alternative comedy show at Just The Spare Room in Edinburgh. Each night, four rotating comedians open their phones and perform half-finished bits, voice memos and late-night premises that have never been tested in front of an audience. Part stand-up show, part creative autopsy, it presents material you won't hear anywhere else. The line-up changes every night, making each performance unique. The show runs for 50 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A genuinely different comedy night — raw material, rotating line-ups, and the unpredictable energy of watching ideas that haven't been road-tested. If you're curious about how comedy is actually made, this is the show for you.
