Book NowAbout The Stand Comedy Club
The Stand Comedy Club presents The Great Big Comedy Cook Off, hosted by Bruce Devlin at the Demonstration Room during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Special Fringe guests compete to make something edible in a deluxe live studio demonstration kitchen, all overseen by a fully qualified chef. The audience gets to sample tasters made by the qualified chefs and compare them to the guests' creations. With a fully stocked bar in the venue, the 120-minute show combines frothy conversation, double entendres and anecdotes in what the listing calls the sassiest chat show of the Fringe.
Why see this show?
Part chat show, part cooking competition, entirely silly — you get to eat the results and drink at the bar while special guests make a meal of things under the watchful eye of a proper chef. A genuinely interactive 120 minutes for adults.
