Comedy ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 12 Aug: Casual Violence – Slow Fade To Bleak, Andrew Bird – I Knew This Would Happen, Jess Fostekew
By TW Editorial | Published on Friday 5 August 2016
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Casual Violence – Slow Fade To Bleak | Soho Theatre | 11-13 Aug
You might already be aware that we are big fans, here at TW Towers, of the sketch comedy troupe Casual Violence – we gave them an Editors’ Award up in Edinburgh back in 2011. And here they are, at the Soho Theatre, with a new show. Not one to miss if you are a fan of dark and twisted comedy mayhem. See this page here for all the info.
Andrew Bird – I Knew This Would Happen | Camden Comedy Club | 9-13 Aug
Another act that we came to know and love via the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is Andrew Bird, and here he is, appearing at the very brilliant Camden Fringe with ‘I Knew This Would Happen’, in which, as you might possibly have divined from that title, he examines his pessimistic views on life, and where his pessimism originated. Head this way for details.
Jess Fostekew | Phoenix Fringe | 12 Aug (pictured)
Meanwhile, over at that other Fringe, that which be named Phoenix, my tip for the day is the fabulous Jess Fostekew. The regular host of BBC Radio 4 Extra’s ‘The Comedy Club’ and writer on ‘Have I Got News For You’, ‘Mock the Week’ and ‘8 out of 10 Cats’ presents what sounds like a work in progress, but there’s no need to be put off when it’s the work in progress of someone with a CV like that.
