All Mouth Comedy

If laughter is your love language, you can be in for a very merry Valentine's Eve thanks to All Mouth Comedy. Glasgow's monthly queer comedy show, headed by Rae Brogan and Kate Hammer (pictured) is bursting across the central belt for their first-ever evening in Edinburgh on 13 Feb. The Gay-lentine's Special sees Hammer hosting Jodie Sloan, Alvin Bang, headliner Sam Lake and more of the most gut-busting LGBTQ+ acts on the circuit.

West Coasters can still catch All Mouth on their usual turf at the Rum Shack (27 Feb), and make sure to read our interview with the organisers online, for their answer to that age-old question – Which Glasgow subway station is the most gay?

13 Feb, Monkey Barrel, Edinburgh, 7.30pm
