One of The Scotsman’s Top Ten free shows of 2012. Bizarro! **** (TimeOut). ‘It's quite lovely’ **** (Skinny). ‘Hugely Entertaining’ **** (ExuentMagazine.com). ‘Twonkey is a true comic original’ **** (Scotsman). ‘Silly and enjoyable’ **** (BritishTheatreGuide.info). Funny showman Mr Twonkey, aka Paul Vickers, has enchanted many admirers and proven his imagination is endless. Treat yourself to a roll of Blue Cadabra. This cabaret is in its fourth year and in rude health. Paul used to front alternative rock act and John Peel favourites Dawn of the Replicants, now he's gone plain bananas all for your pleasure.

St Andrews student Matt Gibson brings his own unique style of stand-up comedy. Stories and songs about Bop It, being Asian and looking like B-list celebrities are all involved at some point. This show promises to make your sides split (not literally, that'd be highly dangerous and inconvenient for everyone involved).

'Spring Day is such a likeable and friendly character with an incredibly infectious smile that draws the audience into her performance and wickedly delivered punch lines which have them falling over themselves with laughter, thinking: “I can’t believe she just said that!” They absolutely loved her and there is no doubt that you will too' **** (BroadwayBaby.com). Spring Day (her real name!) has been described as a cross between a southern beauty pageant contestant with cerebral palsy, Sharon Osbourne and a bottle of whisky. A barking, brilliant good time! www.springdaycomedy.com
