On Saturday 9th August, HIV and sexual health charity Terrence Higgins Trust (THT) Scotland is teaming up with popular Edinburgh venue The Counting House to present a ‘Comedy Extravaganza’. An evening of cutting edge comedy starring some of the best performers from this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

The event takes place at The Counting House, 32 West Nicholson St, Edinburgh at 10pm and is an exciting new addition to this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival.  The show features major league comedians, Janey Godley, Des Clarke, Susan Calman, Jojo Sutherland, Kevin Bridges, Raymond Mearns, and Karen Bayley and will also include surprise guest performers from the best of the festival!  Tickets cost £12.00/£10.00 for concessions.
