Yes, the time has almost come for us to head on down to Leith Theatre for the fabulous Hidden Door Festival.
We have an amazing line-up for you with three feature performers, one a regular Inky performer, and if that wasn’t enough, three of our audience members will be in with a chance to perform themselves on the Hidden Door stage as we draw names from a hat live on the night for an Open Mic, in true Inky style. Come join us on Tuesday 30 May, 6.30pm!

Miles Chambers
Performing in Edinburgh for the first time, Miles Chambers almost stole the show at new Bristol mayor Marvin Rees’ official swearing-in ceremony with a dramatic rendition of a poem written especially for the occasion, ‘Bristol, Bristol’. On the spot, Miles was named Bristol’s first city poet laureate.

Davie Cunningham

“Davie Cunningham is but a hummle missionar fir the funky auld Scots Leid – in spite o monie capernatious predictins it’ll jist no gang awa ! The Scots scene is bizzin awa wi grand screivin the nou … weel worth dookin yer neb intae ! Thir’s a fair debate gauin on aboot the provenance o Scots regional dialecks versus the creatin o a Standard (at last ,ye micht say.) But the main hing is … get oot there an dae it !! Lang live aw the wee languages!”
