Pins & Needles Comedy is officially accepting performer submissions for our Edinburgh Fringe run.

This summer, Pins & Needles is bringing our tattoo-heavy stand-up show to The Raging Bull in Edinburgh, with shows running August 6–18 at 10:15 PM nightly.

We are looking for bold, sharp, funny comics who want to be part of a visually striking, underground stand-up show built around tattoos, vulnerability, and strong comedy.

The format is simple: tattooed comedians perform stand-up while revealing their tattoos onstage. No nudity. No gimmick replacing the jokes. The comedy still has to hit first.

We are also accepting submissions for our POSER spot, reserved for a non-tattooed comic who wants to step into the format from the outside.

Comics selected for the show should be comfortable with the visual concept, able to do a tight set, and ready to promote their Edinburgh appearance.
