Comedy Night at the Museum

About Comedy Night at the Museum

Join the greatest comedians from across the globe as they blur the line between arte-fact and arte-fiction in a wholly improvised set, prompted by genuine artefacts housed in the National Museum of Scotland! This unrehearsed and unrestrained show and tell might not be historically, or even culturally, accurate but it's guaranteed to be utterly entertaining. With different comics taking to the stage each night to deliver their unscripted, uneduca-TED talks on Scotland's most cherished relics, what could possibly go wrong?

'Hugely enjoyable' **** (Scotsman). 'One of the more ingenious late-night shows' **** (Herald).
