Just the Tonic

Recommended by Comedy.co.uk

A passionate, heartfelt and very funny hour of stand-up from working-class comic James Meehan. A voice that needs to be heard.


2017. I'm an angry insufferable mess. I don't leave the flat for six months. 2018. Same. Now I call it working from home. A comedy show for hermits. James Meehan is a comedian and ex-member of Gein's Family Giftshop. You might have seen him on the telly in Inside No. 9 or Drunk Histories, or heard him on BBC Radio 4 Extra's Newsjack. Edinburgh Panel Prize winner. Chortle.co.uk's Best Newcomer winner. ***** (EdFestMag.com). 'His earnestness is compelling' (Scotsman). 'It's the personal touches that provide the moments of inspiration' (Skinny).

Comedian puts the Fringe in Edinburgh Fringe

Unlike most comedians who spend a fortune at the Edinburgh Fringe, James Meehan, in what he describes as a moment of madness, spent £3,000 to train as a barber. Now that he has graduated, he is planning on taking his new skill set to the Edinburgh Fringe this year for any comedian needing their hairline giving a trim for ten pound, with half the proceeds going to the male suicide prevention charity CALM.
