The awesome Dr George Ryegold at Just the Tonic this weekend!

One of my all-time favourite acts, Dr George Ryegold - the wonderfully twisted comic creation of Toby Williams - is headlining this weekend at Just the Tonic. The first time I saw this act, a sublime mix of learned eloquence, agonising medical complaints, questionable ethics and downright wrongness, I laughed and snorted more than I have ever done at a stand-up gig, so in short - if you've never seen him before, I strongly recommend you do so!
The full line-up for Friday night is George Ryegold, Mandy Knight, Rich Wilson and Chris Mayo. Saturday's roll-call features Ryegold again, this time supported by John Robins, Junior Simpson and Matt Forde. Get your tickets here: http://www.justthetonic.com/leicester-comedy/

Russell Kane and booty-shakin' tunes at JTT this weekend

Get down to Just the Tonic this Friday to see TV favourite Russell Kane delivering witty and intelligent stand-up that promises to challenge our notions of masculinity. He's being supported by Steve Royal and  compere Darrell Martin, and the comedy is followed up by Club Faith, JTT's new booty-shakin' club night. Promising an eclectic mix of Motown, northern soul, funk, ska and rock'n'roll, the folks I know who went last week said it was well worth checking out.
Back to the comedy, and JTT's Saturday line-up features Danny McLoughlin, Matt Forde, Steve Royal and Lloyd Griffith.
As usual head to http://www.justthetonic.com/leicester-comedy/ for tickets and details.
