Overview
A stand-up comedy show in which Sam Lake tries out an hour of new, unfinished material at Monkey Barrel Comedy in Edinburgh.
Sam Lake is presenting an hour of work-in-progress stand-up, so the material is still being shaped rather than forming a finished set. The subjects include video games, daytime British game shows, treating yourself to something small, and the search for happiness and personal goals. Sam Lake has appeared on BBC Scotland, All 4 and U&Dave, and hosts the award-winning podcast I've Had A Rosé, Let's Talk About Feelings.
Every ticket-holder has a seat in the auditorium, so the audience watches the hour from fixed seating. The show was named the best reviewed comedy show at Fringe 2025 by Comedy.co.uk, and one review described Sam Lake as a master of the craft.
The performance takes place at Monkey Barrel Comedy, a venue in Edinburgh that mainly hosts stand-up comedy. The club has held the Chortle Awards title of Scotland's Best Comedy Venue since 2020.
