If you needed any more reasons to scale the relatively manageable heights of Arthur’s Seat, here’s one: Barry Fern is at the top waiting for you, and he’s got fantastic jokes! Combining breath-taking views with panoramic comedy, this is a terrific one-of-a-kind opportunity where two of the most quintessential elements of a trip to Edinburgh can be experienced at once. A talented comedian in his own right, Ferns’ observations and externalised thoughts are both ingratiating and brilliantly chuckle inducing. A genuinely funny, un-cynical and life-affirming show in more ways than one, don’t leave the city without seeking out the seat.

Summit of Arthur’s Seat, until 25 Aug, 1.00pm.
