It’s approaching the end of the second week of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and the reviews have been continuing to pour in.
With the physical programme containing over 3,350 shows across 265 venues (with plenty more added after the print deadline), it can be a daunting task to work out what exactly you are going to see.
At The Scotsman we review hundreds of shows every year, with the best receiving a sought-after four or five star rating.
Several of those still have ticket availability for this weekend (August 15-17) so you can go and see what all the fuss is all about (bad luck if you wanted to see the likes of Cat Cohen, Josie Long, Bebe Cave, Sam Nicoresti or Helen Bauer - they are completely sold out after earning four or five star reviews from our critics).
Here are 17 four star comedy shows our team of critics would recommend you see this weekend - and that still have ticket availability at time of writing.
You can book them all at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe website here.
13. Patrick Monahan: The Good, The Pat, and The Ugly
Patrick Monaghan is on at the Gilden Balloon Patter Hoose until August 24 - with tickets available for every show. What we said: "His kind of funny is an irresistible force and he doesn't leave anyone behind." | Contributed
14. Twonkey's Zip Wire To Zanzibar
'Twonkey's Zip Wire To Zanzibar' is part of the Free Festival, but you can guarantee a seat by 'paying what you can' from £5 and there's availabilty for every show at 8.15pm at the Dragon Fly between now and August 24. What we said: "He is the closest we have to a comedy Salvador Dali, creating surreal worlds, and populating his with a motley collection of moth eaten puppets." | Contributed
15. Alan Resnick: One Funny Hour
If you're looking for a late night show there are still tickets left for every night of Alan Resnick's 11.25pm show at the Monkey Barrel. It runs until August 24. What we said: "One Funny Hour is once seen, never forgotten." | Contributed

16. Joe Tracini: Ten Things I Hate About Me
There are also tickets left for all of Joe Tracini's shows between now and August 24 at 8.25pm at the Underbelly Bristo Square. What we said: "And he earns his ovation for more than just getting through the performance, having elicited consistent laughs while educating." | Contributed
