Just the Tonic at the Caves 22:15, 1-25 August (not 13)

With two Edinburgh Fringe Festivals under their collective belt, sketch comedy group Simply the Jest is back. Join all nine members as they present a brand new, high speed, ever-so-slightly middle class selection of sketches, songs and parodies. It’ll be nothing short of delightful!

Simply the Jest formed at the University of Exeter in 2010. Since then, they have performed in both Exeter and at the 2011 and 2012 Edinburgh Fringes. In 2013, they shifted focus to London where they have performed regularly at venues including The Hen and Chickens, The Wheatsheaf and the Harrison.

Members’ comedy credits include School of Comedy (E4) and Little Britain (BBC). They were also recently selected to compete in the Gilded Balloon/Sketch Club Best New Sketch Act of 2013 competition. For further details of the group please visit:
