What an utter privilege and heartwarming experience it was to join the thousands of other campaigners who marched through Edinburgh as part of Scotland's Climate March to demand that the Scottish and UK governments act to prevent climate change ahead of the UN meeting in Paris. We are so proud of Stop Climate Change Chaos Scotland for organising the event - the turnout was absolutely incredible!

It's safe to say all our faces are still hurting this morning from all the laughs last night. A big, huge, massive THANK YOU to everyone who came to our event last night and generously donated, to all our wonderful comedians who had us in fits of laughter, to Southside Social for letting us host the gig in their utterly wonderful venue and to Oxfam Scotland's Nick for the brilliant talk. We had such a fun night and we can't wait to do something similar again soon. Photos to come soon (watch this space) but for now have some of our team beaming about the success of last night!

Ready for our comedy gig to start tonight at 8pm! Come down to Southside Social to enjoy our array of local stand up talent!
