Just the Tonic

Admin

Recommended by Comedy.co.uk

A unique and innovative show which combines grime music with an honest and refreshing discussion about male mental health. Expect raps about relaxation techniques and parodies of the modern grime movement in one of the most creative shows of the Fringe, but also one that is entertaining and easily accessible for those who have never listened to grime before.


Joe Jacobs is back like he left his car keys. Why? To swiftly shank away your negative thoughts. Mixing sardonic stand-up with live rap, reach a zen mood guaranteed to offend prudes. Repeat these positive mantras. 'I have purpose', 'happiness is one drug deal away', and 'I will buy many tickets to Joe Jacobs' Grimefulness show ASAP'. Namaste bumbaclarts. As seen/heard on BBC Three, Channel 4, BBC Radio 4, BBC 6 Music and BBC Radio 1Xtra. 'Mike Skinner with jokes' **** (TheWeeReview.com). 'Comedy Gold' **** (BroadwayBaby.com). 'Rising star' (Time Out). 'Jew' (Jewish Chronicle).

Edinburgh rules

Many performers set themselves Edinburgh rules, like not drinking for the month. We asked this year's Fringers what theirs are.

Tom Inniss, Voice Magazine, 8th July 2019

+3 interview: Joe Jacobs: Grimefulness

"It's mostly a steady stream of abject horror mixed with the joyful catharsis of titting about on a stage."

Dan Lentell, Edinburgh49, 8th July 2019

My favourite comedian by Joe Jacobs

"Simply put, Norm Macdonald is made of comedy."

Joe Jacobs, Female First, 4th July 2019

Jewish comedian Joe Jacobs on the rise of antisemitism

I'm a non religious Jew. Proud of my heritage and what fellow Jews have achieved before me. After surviving failed attempts to destroy us, we are all raised with an acute awareness of how important it is to preserve our culture and traditions.
