点评:I'm a regular at the Edinburgh comedy venues, including this one, but it never occurs to me to write a review of them because I live here in Edinburgh and probably take it a little for granted that we have such a great selection of venues/shows to see, all year round.
The compere on Saturday mentioned that there hadn't yet been a review for 2026, so, here is one!
I really like the monkey barrel for a few reasons; not only is the comedy great, the service is also very good (drinks discreetly delivered to your seat) and the setting is very atmospheric, being cave like! The bar area has a really nice vibe to it, having recently featured on Interior Design Masters.
On Saturday, we were entertained by 4 great comedians, the last one being Rosie Jones - she was a fantastic headline act. A few weeks ago, I was there seeing MC Hammersmith who I have seen loads of times but never disappoints.
So, if you're considering a comedy club in Edinburgh, this one will not disappoint. Live comedy/music/theatre is the absolute best - you just can't get the atmosphere through a TV screen. Such a hard way to make a living and yet one that makes such a positive difference to the lives of those who get to watch/listen/enjoy it.
翻译:我经常光顾爱丁堡的喜剧场所,包括这家,但我从来没想过要写评论,因为我住在爱丁堡,可能有点习以为常,觉得一年四季都有这么多精彩的演出和场所可供选择。
周六的主持人提到2026年还没有人写过评论,所以,我就写一篇!
我喜欢Monkey Barrel有几个原因:不仅喜剧表演精彩,服务也非常好(饮料会悄悄送到你的座位上),而且环境氛围很棒,像个洞穴!酒吧区也很有格调,最近还上了《室内设计大师》节目。
周六,我们欣赏了四位优秀喜剧演员的表演,最后一位是Rosie Jones——她的压轴演出非常精彩。几周前,我在这里看了MC Hammersmith的演出,我看过他很多次了,他每次都让我很满意。
所以,如果你正在爱丁堡寻找一家喜剧俱乐部,这家绝对不会让你失望。现场喜剧/音乐/戏剧表演绝对是最棒的——电视屏幕根本无法营造出那种氛围。虽然谋生不易,但它却能给观看/聆听/欣赏它的人们的生活带来如此积极的影响。
