Edinburgh club promoters have announced a change of venue for their popular club night with a controversial spokesman - Nigel Farage.
Broke Fridays will be moving their club nights from Atik to the Liquid Rooms, after a fallout with bosses at their former home.
Broke announced they would be breaking from their 10-year relationship with Atik due to “Atik's new ownership” making it “impossible for us to continue working together”.
From Friday 11 March, the club night will return to Liquid rooms.
To promote the move, Broke secured the services of Farage through personalised greeting website Cameo.
The video, posted to Broke’s TikTok and Facebook, shows the former UKIP leader saying that Atik retiring from hosting Friday club nights was “an idea as good as Brexit ”.
Farage stated in the video: “Well hello to my good friend Atik.
“It is Nigel Farage here. I want to wish you good luck with retiring from Friday nights and I can assure you that your new Friday night plans will be as good an idea as Brexit - if not even better.
“Here’s wishing you all the very best. Nigel, over and out.”
Farage, who was famously whisked away from protesters branding him a “bawbag” by police during a visit to the capital in 2013, charges up to £1,000 for an exclusive message on the app.
His chaotic trip to Edinburgh ended with the then-UKIP chief sitting in the back of a riot van after four attempts to escape a group of around 50 protesters.
He initially sought refuge in the Canon’s Gait pub before being shown the door by the landlord after activists branded him a “racist” and a “homophobe”.
Farage was then rejected by a taxi after abandoning his press conference and ejected from a second when the group blocked his path.
Officers were then forced to corral him back into the bar until a vehicle could arrive and transport him away from the scene at a fourth attempt.
The 57-year-old now serves as the president of Reform UK - spawned from the Brexit Party - and is a presenter on GB News.
However, the former Brexit figurehead has previously been duped on multiple occasions by pranksters requesting shoutouts to the likes of ‘Hugh Janus’ and the Irish Republican Army (IRA).
He concluded one message with the phrase ‘Up the Ra’ and another with ‘tiocfaidh ar la’ - a phrase used by the group to mean ‘our day will come’.
