And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
COMEDY: Alan Davies – Little Victories | Hackney Empire | 27 Feb
Alan Davies comes to the Hackney Empire as part of an extended run of dates for his acclaimed 2014 show, ‘Little Victories’. His second show since returning from an extended break from stand-up, during which he became a household name, he shows he’s lost none of the charm that got him there in the first place. Details and tickets here.
COMEDY: Rosie Wilby – 90s Woman | Spread Eagle, Croydon | 27 Feb
As a student in the 90s, Rosie Wilby was a writer for feminist newspaper Matrix. Upon discovering copies in her parents’ attic in 2013, she attempted to track down as many of her fellow writers as possible to see how closely they’d stuck to the politics of their youth. She tells what happened next in amongst stories of her own bad perms and fruitless crushes at university in this highly rated show. Details and tickets here.
COMEDY: Sarah Kendall – Touchdown | Soho Theatre | 24-28 Feb (pictured)
Sarah Kendall’s nostalgic coming of age tale hangs on her hard-won place on the Newcastle & District Under-Fourteens Touch Rugby team in 1992. This, she thought, would kickstart improvements in her life. But did it? Well, that’s what she’ll tell you. Details and tickets here.
