On Friday and Saturday nights you'll be lucky to get much change out of a tenner for an evening's comedy. But those prepared to Chortle outside of

peak hours can get away with paying a great deal less. The Stand offers Red Raw for E1 in Edinburgh on Mondays and E2 in Glasgow on Tuesdays. with a mix of beginners and more experienced comics taking up the six performance slots. In Edinburgh, Bruce Devlin hosts Sunday Night Laugh. with two sets from ‘stars of the future‘, and headliners including David Kay and Perrier Best Newcomer Will Hodgson. The free Whose Lunch is it Anyway. also in the capital. is an entertaining way to

while away a hungover afternoon.

The Pleasance, a key venue over the Edinburgh Festival, reverts to its usual student union state over the rest of the year. But comedy still takes place, fortnightly during term time, and is open to non-students for a decent £5.50. Heriot-Watt union’s fortnightly Dance Monkey Boy. Dance! (next date Tuesday 25 January), features a solid mix of Scottish comics (and the very occasional politician) and costs 524. You can also catch it

weekly at the Stand in Glasgow.

Friday night fun is not completely out of the skinflint‘s reach, meanwhile. The long-running lmproverts at Edinburgh‘s Bedlam Theatre are sometimes uproarious and sometimes less so, but they will only set you back £3.50. Sunderland lad Reg Anderson puts on free and cheap nights at various different locales across Edinburgh and at the city‘s Three Tuns there‘s no-cost comedy on Thursdays. That venue's Capital Comedy crew are arranging One Big Laugh, a 36-hour charity gig, in Easter. The gig will be free but donations will be taken for organisations which help people who suffer from depression. (James Smart)
