Having established itself in the 90s in Nottingham and earning the reputation for being "the best comedy club in the country" (Johnny Vegas), Just the Tonic now has a permanent London home at the Leicester Square Theatre. Every Saturday night, JTT provides high-quality stand-up shows in the West End, "boasting some of the most consistently interesting bills in the country" (The Times). Since opening its doors in the capital, the club has welcomed the likes of Noel Fielding, Dave Gorman, Phil Kay, Lee Mack and Richard Herring - and a glance over its listings on www.justthetonic.com shows it has no signs of letting up. The venue has two bars in the performance room selling beer at pub prices, while the seating is as comfortable as most cinemas. It really is just the tonic.
