About Just The Tonic

Just The Tonic has been a cornerstone of the British comedy scene for over three decades, building an unparalleled reputation for curating exceptional live comedy experiences. Founded by Darrell Martin, the brand began its journey in Nottingham and quickly expanded, becoming synonymous with quality stand-up across the UK, including a significant presence at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. They are renowned for their keen eye in spotting future stars, often hosting early performances from comedians who would go on to become household names.

What defines a Just The Tonic night is its commitment to variety and excellence. They consistently present a diverse lineup, typically featuring a seasoned compere, two or three brilliant support acts, and a fantastic headliner. This structure ensures a dynamic evening, showcasing a range of comedic styles – from observational humour and witty one-liners to engaging storytelling and sharp political satire. While there isn’t a fixed “artist” in the musical sense, the “lineup” of comedians is meticulously chosen to guarantee high-calibre performances and a fantastic show. Their “style” is to deliver consistent, laugh-out-loud entertainment, making every visit a fresh and exciting discovery. It’s this dedication to quality and the nurturing of comedic talent that has cemented Just The Tonic’s place as a national treasure in the live entertainment landscape.

Accessibility for a city-centre venue like PETER Pizzeria is generally good, with central Leicester being well-served by public transport and pedestrian-friendly routes.
