A guide to entertainment in Edinburgh

When it comes to entertainment in Edinburgh, we're very lucky to be spoilt for choice! Whether it's comedy, cinema, theatre, cabaret, shows, spoken word,  special events, launches and book readings, there's always something going on.

Here at Edinburgh Reviews, we can never cover everything happening around us in-depth - that's too much for us to handle - but we do cover select entertainment that catches our eye. You can also find plenty of other goings on via our social media!

You can see what's on at the Edinburgh Playhouse right here.

Review: The Corinthian at A Play, A Pie and A Pint, Assembly Roxy

June 13, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Packing out the Assembly Roxy, the latest A Play, A Pie and A Pint production offers a timely, powerful exploration of racism and footballing history. Dayton Mungai is exceptional, anchoring a fast-paced biography that earns its standing ovation.

A Play, a Pie, and a Pint: Off The Rails @ Assembly Roxy (Review)

April 30, 2026 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix Leave a Comment

I’m new to this, and today I enjoyed my first ever play, pie and pint (actually a Fanta) combo – and what better way to try out this charming, tantalising format than with this powerhouse of a one-woman show!

Review: A Game of Crones

April 4, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Braving Storm Dave for Game of Crones at the Traverse was well worth the effort. A&E Comedy offers a madcap, surreal defiance of ageing that is as visually striking as it is ferociously funny. A chaotic but charismatic 3.5 star odyssey.

A Celestial Carnival: Basement Jaxx ignite the Usher Hall

March 31, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Forget the polished CDs; Basement Jaxx live is a raw, primal communion. From 90s anthems like Red Alert to alien-themed stagecraft, the Usher Hall was stomping from start to finish.

Review: Ocean in Concert

March 12, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

From the beauty of the deep to the bleak reality of dredging, Ocean in Concert is a symphonic triumph. It is a rare, emotional look at our marine world that proves we have not yet passed the point of no return. Essential viewing.

Review of [UN]LOVEABLE: A work in progress performance @ Traverse Theatre

February 15, 2026 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix Leave a Comment

Birdy made it down to the Traverse Theatre once again, this time to partake in not one, not two… but FIVE work-in-progress performances from the Not So Nice! Theatre Company. Its name? [UN]LOVEABLE. I was really hyped for [UN]LOVEABLE, a pre-Valentine’s Day show taking place on Friday 13th – because, why not?! With bizarre breakups, […]
