Just the Tonic

Be the event everyone talks about for months to come

Want to book an act for your event? Perhaps an after dinner speaker? Do you have a venue and want to put on a show?

So you're looking for a comedian for an event? Or maybe looking to start your own comedy night and don't know where to begin? Or maybe you just tapped the wrong part of our website and found yourself here - whatever the reason for you being here in this moment with us, hello!

Just the Tonic have been producing and booking live comedy for the last 25 years. It all started back in Nottingham in a small room in the Old Vic. We thrive on booking the best regular stand up nights out up and down the country each and every week to rooms of up to 250 people. We also produce a whole host of shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival each year, hosting over 170 shows a day.

We are constantly keeping our eyes on new and fresh comedy talent coming into the circuit as well as booking a host of well established, quite frankly brilliant comedians who you can see on the TV and on the circuit weekly. We have recently booked the likes of Jason Manford, Romesh Ranganathan, Bill Bailey, Reginald D Hunter, Tom Stade, Seann Walsh, Scott Bennett, Ed Byrne, Milton Jones, Paul Sinha, Nina Conti and, of course, friend of Just the Tonic, Johnny Vegas himself.

If you are looking to host a live stand up event, a festival with a comedy tent, a corporate night extravaganza, a charity event, or you aren't quite sure yet and want help with the vision for an event, please get in contact with your requirements and budget and we will work with you to create a fantastic and memorable event that you can be proud of. We can help provide any aspect of the show, from simply booking comedians to full event management, including venue hire, PA, lighting, tickets, catering, finding suitable venues and more.

Let me introduce myself - I'm Laura and I have over 20 years experience in hospitality, running busy comedy events, promoting the shows, dealing with acts and venues, managing high profile bars and, before Covid, winning best venue at the Leicester Comedy Festival. I love planning and running events and helping you create your vision, although you will never catch me in front of the microphone. Please get in contact with me, laura@justthetonic.com, and I will get back to you in no less than 72 hours.

To get started please supply as much detail as you can: a description of the event so far to get the conversation started, and photos of the event space if you have one are an added bonus.
