Line-ups announced

The line-ups have been announced for the long-running Big Value Comedy Show at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe.

Run by Just The Tonic comedy club, the line-up shows have previously featured the likes of   Micky Flanagan, Jason Manford, Romesh Ranganathan, Jon Richardson and Sarah Millican.

Running at Just the Tonic at The Grassmarket Centre at 7pm and 9.45pm, the bills will be.

EARLY: Jon Pearson, Aaron Simmonds  (pictured), Nina Gilligan  and Jack Gleadow

LATE: Alex Hylton, Eric Rushton, Vlad Illich and The Good Kids.

Just The Tonic founder Darrell Martin said: ‘For most comics, Big Value is their first experience of doing a show in the same room night after night. That means lots of the usual variables (room, town, sound, light)  are all held constant and all that changes is the people and the day of the week.

‘A run at Big Value teaches you how a Friday crowd is really different to a Sunday crowd and countless other things you need to learn to climb the comedy ladder.  

‘Every year we take up a load of new of the best people that we have found on the circuit. It when we start promoting the shows, and we look back at the list of people that are now famous, we realise what a god job we have been doing.’
