Laugh Out London Comedy Festival | The Old Queen’s Head | 12-18 Jul
you know how we keep recommending Edinburgh previews? Well, those of you who appreciate, nay, enjoy this fact might be pleased to hear that Laugh Out London are set for a whole series – a small festival in itself – of Edinburgh preview shows courtesy of the likes of Tony Law, Richard Gadd, Simon Munnery, Lucy Porter, Sarah Kendall, Nish Kumar and Josie Long. A full list of participants and booking links can be found here.
Shangri-La | Finborough Theatre | 12 Jul-6 Aug
Amy Ng’s first full length play is about a young woman living in the Himalayan foothills whose family’s livelihood has been destroyed by mass tourism, and dreams of escape. Using her personal experiences, the playwright asks what happens when the only thing you have to sell is your culture, and when the only way to free yourself is to betray your roots. Head this way for more info.
