Stand-up show 'Premium Economy' by Red Richardson, his second world tour, at Monkey Barrel Comedy.
Red Richardson is bringing his new stand-up show, Premium Economy, to Monkey Barrel Comedy on Monday 8 and Tuesday 9 February 2027. Both nights start at 7.30pm, so if you can't make the Monday, there's a second chance the next evening.
If the name doesn't ring a bell, you've probably seen him on your phone. Richardson is one of those comedians who built a massive following online before the stage; his 'Stay Toxic' videos and stand-up clips have racked up over 250 million views on Instagram alone. Premium Economy is his second world tour, and these two Edinburgh dates are part of that global run.
He's been moving fast. In 2023, his show The Best of Red Richardson sold out the Leicester Square Theatre in under twenty-four hours. The following year, he took Bugatti Live to America, selling out the Comedy Store in LA twice and adding Australian and New Zealand dates to a 90-date global sell-out. That special, Bugatti Live, went on to become one of the biggest ever released by an English comic on YouTube. He's also a regular at Ricky Gervais's Ricky Gervais and Friends live shows and has appeared in comedy sketches for Gervais's Dutch Barn vodka company. Deadline named him one of the top twenty new comedians in the world to watch for 2026, and he's been on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show.
