Lauren Stone Cool For Cats Stand 4 5.25pm Knowing, silly and packed with heart. Stone is uncategorisable and there is too little of that around. A real find. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 @lstone345 @StandComedyClub

Raymond Mearns @RaymondMearns Had a Stroke Of Luck Beehive 2 @ScotComFest 7pm Easy to see why Mearns is loved by fellow comedians, he gets weekend club sized laughs from the tale a tough time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sean Turner Pythonesque Comedy by a Dry Surreal Geordie Bloke who has ADHD Canon’s Gait 7pm Not for everyone but if you latch on and get on his wavelength you might find a new favourite. ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 @turnerthecomic @PBHFest

Joe Wells Daddy Autism Banshee Labyrinth Noon Wells is a big hearted and deft performer with a rare understated charisma. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ @joewellscomic @B_Labyrinth

Elaine Robertson Delulu Stand 4 12.05pm Blistering run through every emotion in a show that is less a debut and more a statement of thrilling intent. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ @elainerobz @StandComedyClub

James Cook Anonymously Viral 32 Below Main Cellar 6:45pm The sort of reliable circuit act that shouldn’t be allowed to fly under the radar. Cook has well honed and valuable skills on display here. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ @jamesecook @lhcomedy

Deage Paxton Inappropriate Counting House Attic 10:30pm Paxton has added light to his pitch black palate and is all the better for it. Plays with the line before skilfully and happily jumping over it double footed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ @DeagePaxton @lhcomedy @CountingHouseEd

John Robertson The Human Hurricane Counting House Ballroom 8:20pm Improvised crowd work but this is not your average Tik Tok compere. Robertson is somehow both utterly unpredictable and the safest pair of hands at the same time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 @Robbotron

Best In Class Three Sisters - Maggie’s Chamber 7pm The most important of the compilation shows at the festival, Sian Davies has compiled line ups of working class comedians who wouldn’t otherwise be here and the line ups are stellar. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 @lhcomedy @morriseysquiff

Jo Caulfield Pearls Before Swine Stand 3 @StandComedyClub 7:10pm It’s time to start calling Jo Caulfield what she is. One of the best comedians these Isles have produced. We must not take her excellence for granted. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Cal Halbert Calcaholic Beehive 2 8.15pm Powerful and surprisingly personal from Halbert, usually an impressionist, who reveals more of himself than expected in this bleak yet hopeful hour. No stone is unturned in both its honesty and quest for laughs from the gut. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
