By TW Editorial | Published on Wednesday 5 July 2017
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Bring Your Own Baby Comedy | Battersea Arts Centre | 12 Jul
I am pretty sure that I have tipped this before, but I am not going to apologise for tipping it again, mainly because I really, really wish I could have gone to these shows when I had a small baby. Those of you who don’t get up to as much cultural fun as you used to because you have a months-old child, here’s your chance to see some funny comedians in a comfortable and comforting location, with said child in tow.

The Believers Are But Brothers | Ovalhouse | 12-15 Jul
“We live in a time where old orders are collapsing: from the postcolonial nation states of the Middle East, to the EU and the American election. Through it all, tech savvy and extremist groups rip through twentieth century political certainties. Amidst this, a generation of young men find themselves burning with resentment; without the money, power and sex they think they deserve. This crisis of masculinity leads them into an online world of fantasy, violence and reality.” This one man show by Javaad Alipoor draws on time he spent in this digital realm, and explores a world of extremists, spies, journalists and fantasists. See the venue website here for details.
Boys Club | Jacksons Lane | 12 Jul (pictured)
Part of the Jacksons Lane Postcards festival, this, a “gender-bending satire” presented by London-based bilingual company Two Tongue Theatre. The play is about two unemployed actresses who dress as men in order to find work: together they host the male cabaret Boys Club, and perform macho dances and jokes until an accident forces them to reconsider what they are doing.
