And the LDN-based events the ThisWeek team is tipping today are…

COMEDY: Centrepoint Laughing Point w/ Daniel Kitson + Stewart Lee + Sara Pascoe | Palace Theatre | 6 Oct
Lending their high-profile backing to this comic conglom in aid of Centrepoint, the charity dedicated to helping homeless young people, are ambi-skilled Perrier-winner Daniel Kitson, telly’s most beloved SOB Stewart Lee, soon-to-have-his-own-show-on-BBC-Three-man Josh Widdicombe and inimitable character actress Sara Pascoe. Oh, and Tony Law, Katherine Ryan, Aisling Bea and Joe Lycett, who aren’t even top of the bill, so high is the caliber of this showcase. Details and tickets here.

THEATRE: Confirmation | Battersea Arts Centre | 6-25 Oct (pictured)
Theatre/verse-writer Chris Thorpe’s Fringe First-winning show, a collaboration with Rachel Chavkin (of innovative NYC drama co The TEAM), is based on a series of interviews the confirmed ‘liberal’ Thorpe held with a white supremacist named Glenn. ‘Confirmation’, as in ‘confirmation bias’, finds Thorpe scaling the gap that separates his and Glenn’s views, in a bid to discover why and how two people’s ideas, beliefs and interpretations of the world can wind up so far apart. Details and tickets here.

THEATRE: Notes From Underground | The Print Room | 6 Oct – 1 Nov
Co-adapted by and starring ‘Game Of Thrones’ actor Harry Lloyd, aka evil (and later, gilded) Prince Viserys Targaryen, this claustrophobic take on Dostoyevski’s novella comes from the mind of a man locked away from the ‘Real World’ by his own choosing. Details and tickets here.
