Events reportStand Up For Freedom
Date: Wed 13 August 2008
Amnesty’s legendary benefit is back with two nights of the best comedy in Edinburgh!
Stand Up For Freedom has consistently sold out every year during its 11 years at Edinburgh, and with the cream of Edinburgh’s comedy talent all available for the price of one ticket the nights are two of the genuinely 'must-see' shows of the entire Festival.
This year’s talent-packed line-up includes:
| Line up 13 August

Tickets: £14.50 / £12.50 (conc.)
Stand up For Freedom is sponsored by The Co-operative Bank, providers of the Amnesty Credit Card. By covering the costs of staging the show, this sponsorship ensures that all proceeds from the show go directly to fund Amnesty International’s work on human rights. Since the Amnesty Credit Card’s launch in 1993, cardholders and The Co-operative Bank have raised over £2.2 million for Amnesty.
