Just the TonicFounded by Darrel Martin ten years ago, JTT has established itself as one of the Countries best, funniest and most prestigious comedy nights. Attracting such acts as Johnny Vegas, Dylan Moran and Ross Noble to its other home at Cabaret in Nottingham. Where else could you see arena filling acts in a three hundred capacity room?

So what can you expect at the Leicester branch of JTT?  The organisers claim to have the best Friday night out in town, and looking at the lineup they may very well be right! The event will be taking place at The Music Café, above The Jam Jar, on Braunstone Gate, a 250 capacity, fully seated venue. As well as the usual drinks available, there will be "Lip Smackin'" food on offer until late and doubles + mixers at £2.50 and selected bottles of Lager at £1.50. (Great comedy AND cheap drinks, so far so good).

Doors open at 8.30, show starts t 9.30. DJ's thereafter until 2am.

Admission is £8 and £7 NUS &NHS concession.


So to the main part of the evening…. the acts...

 

Friday 7th May

NOEL JAMES
Noel James is daft. A very original and often copied headliner, this man's surreal tangents make him a must for every dinner party. Totally hilarious, totally unique.

A HEADLINE SUPPORT ACT
All will be revealed. High quality laughter, Contractual reasons say 'do not advertise'. Exciting?

MATT HOLLINS
Winner of Leicester Mercury Comedian Of The Year. Come see why.. 

COMPERE - DARREL MARTIN
The people's champion. Founder of Just the Tonic, regular compere .around the circuit


Friday 14th May

TONY BURGESS
Skulking scally manc. Comedy fans will have seen him in  Johnny Vegas' recent DVD - he was the loony flatmate.  One of the best joke writers in the business. The Manchester legend comes to town.

JIM JEFFRIES
Filth was never such fun. Australian cheeky boy, very spot on routines and amazing gags. Shocking, funny and alarming. What a hoot

COMPERE  - MARK OLIVER
Bristol's finest is starting to spill up towards the Midlands. Graceful compering from a clumsy looking man.

PLUS A NEW TALENT SPOT.


Friday 21th May

CRAIG CAMPBELL
Down from the hills came humour and it rode on the back of Campbell. Canadian madman, had own TV series there... left it all behind to lighten Blighties life. A very distinguished act.

EARL OKIN
Musical genius and sex god. Musical wit of an unequaled style. Smoothly disarming. Gentle but amazing mirth. Bloody brilliant.

Compere - SUPRISE GUEST!
(Check web site for details)

PLUS A NEW TALENT SPOT
