Just The Tonic Comedy Shindig 7472223766

PLEASE NOTE THIS COMPETITION HAS NOW CLOSED


Just The Tonic is Nottingham’s oldest comedy club and now one of the most established in the country. Originally founded by comedian Darrell Martin, the club began in 1994 in Nottingham, first running gigs at a bub called The Old Vic on Fletchergate. 

The list of previous performers at Just The Tonic reads like a ‘who’s who’ of stand-up. Stewart Lee, Ross Noble, Johnny Vegas, Daniel Kitson and many more have played there regularly. Ricky Gervais also made his first ever stand-up appearance under the Just The Tonic banner. 

The club has grown nationally over the last decade and now has branches in Birmingham, Derby, Edinburgh, Leamington Spa, Leicester, Manchester, Morecambe, Reading and Wolverhampton. They’re also a big deal at the annual Edinburgh fringe, running hundreds of shows there every August.
