Police Academy's Michael Winslow appearing tonight!

Man of a thousand noises Michael Winslow from the Police Academy movies is appearing at Just the Tonic tonight and tomorrow. Dunno about you, but as a child of the 80s, I find that rather exciting. It's not often you get to witness an actual Hollywood star making funny noises for your entertainment in a small room in Leicester.
Supporting are Rob Rouse, whose superlative storytelling ability is itself worth buying a ticket for, and Gareth Richards, who will entertain you with funny songs and reassure you that the world will not end this year. What a nice man.
Tickets are £14, as usual go to http://www.justthetonic.com/leicester-comedy/ to get one. I'm pretty sure this will be a gig to remember...

Big shows this year at DeMontfort Hall

And straight away, as if to prove that I'm not working for JtT, here's a link to the upcoming comedy shows at DeMontfort Hall

Big names include... deep breath... the legendary Paul Merton, the grumpy Rhod Gilbert, the noisy Michael Winslow (again!), the mighty Ken Dodd, the unflinching Frankie Boyle, the gargantuan Greg Davies, the Thunderbird-faced Jimmy Carr, the Irish-faced Jason Byrne, the surreal Ross Noble, the ubiquitous Kevin Bridges and the 'not-the-host-of-Crackerjack' Stewart Francis... gasp for air... but the one I'm looking forward to the most is Rhys Darby, aka hapless manager Murray from the sublime Flight of the Conchords.

Just the Tonic - the name says it all, really.

Obviously no self-respecting Leicester comedy enthusiast could fail to be wetting their pants with excitement about the new Just the Tonic club that's opened on Granby Street. The venue, formerly Highlight and before that Jongleurs, has an absolutely cracking line-up including big names such as Milton Jones, Ardal O'Hanlon, Ed Byrne and 'that sound effects bloke from Police Academy' himself, Michael Winslow! Also appearing in the coming weeks and months are critics' favourites Daniel Kitson and Doug Stanhope, the wonderful Boy with Tape on his Face, and my own personal favourite, Dr. George Ryegold, to name but a few.
