Russell Howard is headlining a special mental health-themed comedy show at the Edinburgh Fringe.
He tops a splendid line-up of comedians appearing at Harriet Dyer's Barking Tales charity event.
It's one of the few chances to catch the host of Good News this Fringe as due to a problem with his throat he can only perform once a day. Tickets for his existing shows at Assembly George Square are going fast.
Along with Russell and Harriet, comedians Seymour Mace, Tony Law and Laura Lexx will be at the Barking Tales show, which aims to break stigma around mental health.
It takes place at Monkey Barrel at 10.30pm on Monday, August 12.
Promoters say: "It’s a night for sufferers of mental health issues to feel comfortable enough to find the funny in often seemingly dark times, with supporters of those affected also very much welcome.
"A safe space for everyone involved."
Proceeds will go to SAMH and tickets can be bought here.
