Award-winning comedian and professional poker player Ken Cheng is back on tour! He brings you his new show, "The Big Brain Show for People with 3,000 IQ”, where he talks about being silenced and cancelled by the industry for having such a big brain. Expect lots of maths, graphs, tests of mental agility and Ken talking about his really niche special interests for a couple hours. This promises to be the stupidest "clever" show imaginable.
You may have heard Ken on his BBC Radio 4 series "Chinese Comedian", for which he won a BBC Audio Drama Award in 2023 for Best Comedy, and "I Can School You", where he fixed the education system. Now, watch him live as he fixes all of the world's problems with his megamind-like intelligence.

Information
Monkey Barrel Comedy is situated in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town. Our rooms are located at the top end of Blair Street, just off the Royal Mile and can be easily accessed by Bus and Taxi from South Bridge or by foot from either Cowgate or the High Street.
As with many venues in the traditional and historical Old Town, some of our spaces have accessibility limitations. Please contact us in advance (via email to our Box Office at boxoffice@monkeybarrelcomedy.com) if you have any access requirements, so we can advise on the options available.
MB1 is at ground level and can be accessed via most wheelchairs with some adjustments made for you outside the venue. Please let us know in advance of buying a ticket (via the Box Office) so we can confirm and be prepared for your arrival. Because of the physical changes required outside of the venue, we cannot guarantee entry unless we are notified in advance.
MB3 and MB4 are accessed via a series of steps. If you are able to move over short distances, our team can assist and looking after any mobility equipment.
If you have any questions, please contact our Box Office at boxoffice@monkeybarrelcomedy.com.
