And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
The Faction presents three solo performances of classics from Cervantes, Goethe and Kafka | Wilton’s music hall | 12-15 Jan
Okay, so, you know how we’ve been talking a lot about The Faction this week? Well, here’s the final instalment of Faction-love, and it’s not unrelated to the previous one. Because you know how they are doing a mini-season of their short-ish one person performances at New Diorama? Well, they will be at Wilton’s next week too, with ‘Transformations’, where you can take in three solo pieces, adapted from the work Cervantes, Goethe and Kafka (as probably established further up) all in one go.

Larry Dean: Out Now | Soho Theatre | 12-16 Jan (pictured)
The phrase ‘up-and-coming’ is made for people like Larry Dean, a young comedian from Scotland who has already won Scottish Comedian of the Year, and scored a nomination in the Edinburgh Comedy Award’s newcomer shortlist for the show he will be performing at Soho Theatre next week. This particular set focuses on Dean’s own sexuality, and his struggle, as a ‘tough’ Glaswegian, with coming out at the age of 23. See the venue website here for more info and to book.
Botallack O’Clock | Old Red Lion Theatre | 12 Jan-6 Feb
We discovered this play a few years back, when it headed Edfringe-ward in 2012. We liked it very much then, so of course it’s pleasing that the show now headed Old Red Lion-wards, in the capable directorial hands of its writer, Eddie Elks. It’s about renowned post war British artist Roger Hilton, set during the latter years of his life, and promises to be an intriguing examination of the painter’s creative mind.
