Stuart Mitchell and Festival Friends - 4.5**** - One4Review
one4review | On 14, Aug 2026
If you haven’t had the chance to see Stuart Mitchells Solo Show, because its completely sold out, why not catch him and some of his “Festival Friends” instead. An hour of comedy featuring one of Scotland’s rising stars alongside 2 of his pals from the Fringe, it’s a tried and tested formula and follows up from a very successful run last year.
The line up changes pretty regularly and it’s an opportunity for the crowd to check out other comedians by seeing a sample of their shows. On the particular show I saw, we were entertained by a well-known Irish comedian as well as an Edinburgh stand up favourite. Both were great additions to the show and the packed room enjoyed every second.
Stuart’s own set was cleverly constructed and his crowd work is fantastic. He really gets to know his fans and with over 70K Instagram followers many of them were there to witness him live for the first time, There’s a great atmosphere in the room and there’s a real sense of fun all the way through.
This show is selling out fast, so don’t miss out. It’s the perfect chance for anyone looking for an entertaining feel-good Fringe experience.
****1/2
