Comedy Theatre
Monday 19 January 2015 in London

And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
COMEDY: Josie Long – Cara Josephine | Soho Theatre | 19-31 Jan
Comedian Josie Long meditates on relationships, ageing and “being outdoorsy as a bear” in this intimate yet non-corny insight into her own private heartbreak, which bowled over audiences (and the critics) at last year’s Edinburgh Fringe. Details and tickets here.
COMEDY: Lucy Beaumont – We Can Twerk It Out | Soho Theatre | 19-21 Jan
It’s all going on at the Soho theatre ‘atm’, as BBC Comedy Award-winning new face Lucy Beaumont (who Johnny Vegas says has “the timing of Les Dawson”), lifts the lid on this show of unusual, off-the-tracks gags straight from the North-East coast. Which is where she’s from too. Details and tickets here.
THEATRE: East Is East | Richmond Theatre | 19-24 Jan
Jane Horrocks is the matriarch to a chip-shop-owning English-Pakistani family (and a half) in this Sam Yates-directed new framing of actor/playwright Ayub Khan Din’s ‘East Is East’. The play, which pre-dates its film parallel, visits the Richmond Theatre as part of a nationwide trip following its Trafalgar Transformed-backed premiere. Details and tickets here.
