One of the most esteemed comedy clubs across the UK, Just the Tonic, is bringing back the comedy club experience to millions of people with a brand-new LIVE comedy series called Working from Home.  This Saturday’s episode  (13th June) stars Kerry Godliman and Jason Manford! With all venues closed, and comedians sitting around with nothing much to do, the Just The Tonic creator Darrell Martin devised Working From Home.  He began to raid his address book, hiring top name comedians to take part in this groundbreaking show.

Streaming live from his spare room, the hapless comedy promoter is the MC (and frankly a bewildered tech), who feeds comedians into his bizarre world. The show mixes live chat with sketches, pre-recorded pieces and stand up, alongside music from his Jukebox of Joy. With his line up waiting in a virtual green room, this stripped-down daft show will showcase nuggets of gold with stories, rants and random thoughts from him and his guests throughout.

This unique and revolutionary show will be streamed LIVE only but once it is done, it’s gone!  Shown in HD, and available to watch on tablets, phones, laptops and desktops you just have to be there!  Audiences are strongly encouraged to create their own watching parties – because comedy is always better with mates.

Darrell Martin says: “Don’t expect a normal stand-up show; the world has changed, and stand-up is a format for being in a room with people and all the atmosphere that comes with it. We are not trying to recreate that, so join us with an open mind.”

Working from Home will stream on Saturday 13th June from 8.30pm. For tickets click here!
