What’s On In Scotland: Five things to do tonight
MUSIC: LAWSON
Lawson are a conspicuously telegenic four-piece indie-pop quartet with a style somewhere between a grown-up One Direction and Mumford & Sons. They’ll be performing at Edinburgh’s The Liquid Room perfoming hits When She Was Mine, Standing In The Dark and Taking Over Me.
The Liquid Room, 9c Victoria Street, Edinburgh, £15
THEATRE: ONE, TWO, THREE, YIPEE
One, Two, Three, Yipee is a Scottish drama about three siblings desperate to escape their dwindling town. The show explores whether their desire to escape is just a childish dream or a plausable reality. The show is brought to the stage by the same minds behind the sell out show Death is the New Porn and Blazing Hyena.

COMEDY: POETS AGAINST HUMANITY
Poets Against Humanity has been described as “bringing their horrible humour based on the horrible boardgame to a horrible pub near you”. Based on the cult board game Cards Against Humanity, the show involves a live comedy panel show. Performers will be inserting rude things into works of great literature, in order to shock and entertain at the same time.
The Banshee Labyrinth, 29–35 Niddry Street, Edinburgh, free
