Cabaret Children's Shows Comedy Theatre

And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
CABARET: Slightly Fat Features – Variety Soup | Leicester Square Theatre | 15-29 Dec
A daft and noisy variety jolly from smash-hit man-gang Slightly Fat Features, this show is a hotchpotch of circus and physical skills, musical mash-ups and choreographed chaos. Details and tickets here.
COMEDY/KIDS: The Santa Claus Science Experiment | Bloomsbury Theatre | 15-21 Dec
Imagine if Santa was arrested by MI5, and the elves tried to save Christmas by having a go at recreating his holly jolly, roly poly magic with a bit of help from… a team of scientists? Well imagine no longer, at least not if you go and watch this neat idea for an alternative family panto scripted by inimitable entertainer (and shining star of the ThisWeek London Podcast) Tiernan Douieb and CBBC’s Big Howard, aka Howard Read; which does exactly that. Details and tickets here.
THEATRE: Brain Of Brittain | New Diorama Theatre | 15 Dec (pictured)
Get inside the oversized mind of brainy comic playwright Jon Brittain, maker of acclaimed ‘camp odyssey’ ‘Margaret Thatcher Queen Of Soho’, via this showcase of his six “least worst” short plays, banner titled ‘Funny Funny Funny Little Bit Poignant The End’, which he’s even deigned to direct. Amongst the plays on display are sex satire ‘Everybody’s Doing It’, ‘Star Trek’ re-imagining ‘To Boldly Go’ and ‘poignant bit’ ‘Shadows’, which follows a man’s repeated attempts to have a conversation with his daughter. Details and tickets here.
