What is Just the Tonic?
It is a unique entertainment experience during the world's largest arts festival. We have 3 venues, with 10 performance spaces: The Caves, situated within a maze of cavernous rooms below Edinburgh's South Bridge, the venue is a tourist attraction in it's own right. Part of the space that we don't use is even part of the legendary Edinburgh Ghost Tours. Winner of The Best Small Venue in The Scottish Events Awards, 2009. We have now added The Tron, a single perfomrance space on Hunter Square, right next to the Royal Mile. The Store (formerly GRV) has 3 performance spaces. All spaces are located within a minute walk from each other.

In 2010
We put on 50 shows a day. In 2010 We featured known comedy names such as Josie Long (she was nominated for The Comedy Awards), Phil Kay, Wil Hodgson, Henning Wehn, Loretta Maine were hosted by us. We also had the ground breaking and cult figure Doctor Brown, The Ginge Geordie and The Geek almost sold out every night in our larger space, we had sketch troupes including WitTank, The Three Englishmen. Breakthrough new comedy in the Big Value Comedy Show and loads of others. We had a couple of chat shows, notably Susan Calman as well as Matt Forde. Theatre and music made an appearance with Wolf making use of our venues features within the show and receiving a mass of critical acclaim.
In 2011
We had 84 shows a day. The Ginge Geordie and The Geek returned, this time selling our 2 shows a day. We had Piff the Magic Dragon, he sold out every ticket and had to put on 10 extra shows, Sanderson Jones sold out every tickets with his Comedy Sale show, and New York's The Chris and Paul Show were nominated for Best Newcomer in the Fosters Comedy Awards. Wittank, Henning Wehn, The Three Englishmen and Oyster Eyes returned. We had a host of newer sketch groups including So On and So Forth, Jolly Good Larks, Kieran and The Joes and loads of others. Stand ups included John Robins, Henning Wehn, Jen Brister, Joey Page, and loads of others. We had Just th Tonic Comdy Club's Midnight Show, which sold out nearly every night, the cult hit Setlist which featured people such as Frank Skinner, Rich Hall, Phil Jupitus, Jon Richardson... , Kitty Contreaus Bra Ha Ha and plenty of other stuff. It was a brilliant!

Why Come to Just the Tonic in 2012?
As well as providing a professional environment to perform in, Just the Tonic in Edinburgh is small enough to feel that you are part of something, part of the fringe. During the year we run Just the Tonic Comedy Club in Nottingham. We know about promoting and producing shows. We are not just here for the festival. A well renowned set up, Just the Tonic at The Caves provides an established venue but you won't get lost in the machine of Edinburgh. Have a look at our spaces, maybe call the office for a chat and apply online.
2012 is going to be a hoot and a holla!
