Noble first performed at Just The Tonic in the 90s and his unique blend of absurdity and wit has earned him countless awards. He's joined by Shooting Stars star Angelos Epithemiou, freestyle rap comedian MC Hammersmith, and another outstanding act soon to be announced.
"Just the tonic was one of the first clubs I played 30 years ago," said Noble. "I am delighted to return to celebrate. It will be the perfect way to have some big belly laughs while facing the dark spectre of our mortality."
Saturday offers a matinee hosted by introspective comic Daniel Kitson, featuring Upstart Crow's Spencer Jones and more handpicked talents. Then on Sunday the 7th, Johnny Vegas brings his eccentric humor to close the weekend, accompanied by Edinburgh nominee Lindsey Santoro, radio host Paul Tonkinson, and a soon-to-be-named fourth comic.
The event takes place at the picturesque Melbourne Hall in Derbyshire, offering street food, bars, and a stately setting for comedy lovers to revel in laughter all weekend long. Tickets start at £18 for individual shows or a package for the entire extravaganza and can be found here
