NextUp Comedy

Pinned posts

Welcome to The Pub! 🗣️This is the bit of the community that’s less “what’s on this week” and more “what are we all chatting about”.Think of it like the pub after the gig (a big thank you to Indulis for the inspiration!) Just a place to hang out, talk nonsense, answer silly polls, share opinions and generally loiter...I’ll be dropping the odd BTS or mildly pointless thought in here 😉, and you’re very welcome to do the same. Join in loads, dip in occasionally or you know, just sit in the corner nursing a drink. All acceptable pub behaviour!Pull up a chair and make yourself at home.Cheers!

Your Edinburgh Recommendations! 🚅

Hello NextUppers!

A good chunk of you voted that you’ll be both heading up to Edinburgh and watching the livestreams while you're there this August!

So, if you’ve ever been to the city, drop your top recommendations below - cafes, restaurants, hidden gems, or quiet spots to soak up the capital between streams. Anything goes!

And if you end up trying out any suggestions while you're there, share a photo here so we can all live vicariously through you! 😍

My Fringe top 3! Obviously I'm beyond excited about every single act, but extra excited for these three: Katie Boyle, Christian Brighty, Felicity Ward. Who are you guys keen to see?

And the name of your #EdFringe mascot is...

Nicolas Stupp (Nick to his friends). 😉

P.S. Everyone say 'THANK YOU EDI!' for the brilliant name suggestion. A load of you lot seemed to love it!

Your #EdFringe mascot is here! 🎪✨

Hey NextUppers! Hope you’re having a stellar evening and are hyped for tonight's livestream!

So...you've probably seen the picture above and are thinking, what is this? 😂

You're the absolute first to see it, but we officially have our 2026 Ed Fringe Mascot!

This little legend is basically a full-time member of the NextUp team now. They’ll be crashing every behind-the-scenes pic and moment in Edinburgh - so if you can't make it to the Fringe in person, you can live vicariously through them and still feel part of the best two weeks of the year.

BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP!

This character needs a name, and we want our community (i.e. you) to choose it. Drop your best name suggestions in the comments below! We’ll be officially crowning them on our main socials at the end of the week. 👑

Get commenting!
