Coming up this weekend: Kojo, Bloom, Bligh and many more besides...

Star of the urban comedy scene Kojo brings his 'Special Delivery' tour to Just the Tonic tonight. Kojo has supported such giants as Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock amongst others, and is currently raising his profile with a show on Choice FM, appearances on BBC3 and starring in an upcoming film directed by Noel Clarke. Support comes from young rising star Kevin J, tickets are a tenner and can be acquired through the following portal: http://www.justthetonic.com/Leicester-Comedy/shows/friday-7-sep-2012/836/

Meanwhile over at the Y Theatre tomorrow, Bottle Rocket Comedy Club returns with circuit and TV veteran Adam Bloom, who has been a consistently popular and energetic stand-up for over a decade, notching up sell-out Edinburgh shows and TV panel show appearances galore along the way. He's supported by Yorkshire banter-smith Craig Murray, the twisted and deadpan Julian Deane and up-and-comer Jonathan Elston.

"What's that then Ted?" - Ardal O'Hanlon live at Just the Tonic this weekend

This weekend, Just the Tonic is playing host to the one and only Ardal O'Hanlon, best known as 'lovable eejut' Father Dougal McGuire in legendary sitcom Father Ted. Of course he's probably sick of just being remembered as Dougal so many years after the show finished in 1998, but that doesn't stop it being fantastic that he's here to perform for us as a stand-up, which was his profession pre-Ted. Chortle describes him as a "charming storyteller", prone to "surreal flights of whimsy", so get your tickets from http://www.justthetonic.com/Leicester-comedy/shows/saturday-14-apr-2012/688/ for your chance to see a real comedy legend tonight. Also on the bill are cheery yet frantic Liverpudlian Simon Bligh, as well as the dark and mischievous Carey Marx, and as always the evening is compered by JTT founder Darrell Martin.
