Parcel of Burns

12.30pm, The Famous Grouse House, Venue 34, five pairs

If Robert Burns was alive today, he would be a stand-up comedian and a rampant nationalist. Here are the national bard's views on Scotland re-born.

Angloklaxons

5.00pm Frantic Redhead Productions, Venue 55, five pairs

An English girl's romantic adventures in Paris told and sung in French and English by the award-winning actress Phyllis Roone. Touching, funny and outrageous.

Simon Evans

5.05pm, The Pleasance, Venue 33, five pairs

All that you would wish for from comedy: witty, intelligent, sarcastic. Futon shopping will never be the same again.
