About the event
From See Tickets's listing
THE SHOW Esyllt Sears, Mary Flanigan and Eleanor Morton bring you a chaotic game show that pits Wales, Ireland and Scotland against each other in a series of increasingly silly tasks and games to determine who's the best of the rest (of us). In a series of increasingly absurd tasks, these Celtic powerhouses compete to determine who is truly the best of the best. Expect high-stakes hilarity with rounds like 'Chip on My Shoulder,' 'Real or Fake Place Names,' and the culinary engineering challenge: 'Build a Famous Countryman Using Only National Produce.' Witness the stars of BBC Radio 4's The Rest of US battle it out to be crowned champion of the Celts and reign supreme over these sceptred isles. Hosted by a token Englishman Stuart Laws, this ramshackle gameshow is guaranteed to be a lot of stupid fun. Mary Flanigan is a writer and stand-up from Belfast who was nominated for the Leicester Mercury Award in 2023. She's appeared on BBC Radio 4, BBC Ulster and BBC Northern Ireland, and supported Fern Brady on tour, and is a member of the BBC Northern Ireland Writersroom group 'Belfast Voices'. Esyllt Sears is a stand-up comedian from Aberystwyth , comedy writer and one of the presenters of the Comedy Club (BBC Radio 4 Extra). She co-hosts the I'm So Not Over It podcast with Gareth Gwynn and The Pod of Wales podcast with Kiri Pritchard-McLean. She has performed on BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio 4 Extra and BBC One Wales in English and on S4C in Welsh.…

How I list these
Everything here comes from the feeds of the ticket and experience sellers I work with: See Tickets. That's a lot, but it isn't everything on in Edinburgh: venues that sell their own tickets, or sell through sellers whose feeds don't reach me, won't show here yet.
Events are in date order, and a show on several dates appears once, on its first, with how many more there are. Things to do any day start with the seller's own UK picks, then those rated 4.5 or more, guided before self-guided, shared before private, then by rating and price. Every ticket link is an ad: if you buy, the seller may pay me commission, at no cost to you. Commission never changes what's listed or the order.
A price is the seller's lowest for one ticket (or one person, when two book a tour together), as its feed gives it, and I've checked on each seller's own pages what it covers. See Tickets's includes its booking fee, and it adds an order fee to each booking (£1.25 to £4 on the events I checked), which I show beside the price. Where I haven't checked what a seller's price covers, or its feed is more than a day and a half old, I show no price at all.
I don't list resold tickets for football in England and Wales, or for any match in a UEFA or FIFA competition: selling or advertising them without the organiser's permission is a crime (section 166 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994). Times are UK times. Events change and sell out, so the seller's page is the final word.
