And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Alex Edelman – Everything Handed To You | Soho Theatre | 10-25 May
The very highly acclaimed US born stand up heads to Soho Theatre for a nice chunky run of dates, performing the follow up to ‘Millennial’, the show that won him the Edinburgh Comedy Award newcomer prize in 2014. ‘Everything Handed To You’ already played a sell out run up at Edfringe last summer, and got lots of great reviews, including one from our own reviewer.

The Killing Of Charles Bravo | Theatre N16 | 9-19 May
A very interesting sounding site specific promenade piece based on the true story of a historical murder: back in 1876, Charles Bravo, a lawyer, was killed in his Balham home by an unknown assailant, and the case has never been solved. Your chance to be led through the exploration of a dark and sinister event from a pretty dark and sinister time in our history. See the venue website here for details and to book.
Reassembled Slightly Askew | Battersea Arts Centre | 11-28 May (pictured)
Another offering from the A Nation’s Theatre Festival, this, and it looks brilliant. It’s an immersive audio performance by Shannon Yee, detailing her own experience of critical illness – a rare brain infection – and her subsequent rehabilitation. Audience members listen on headphones whilst lying on hospital beds, so that’s different, isn’t it? A no doubt incredibly visceral experience. See this page here.
