Comedy Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 13 Oct: Playground, Jessie Cave, Hannibal Buress
By TW Editorial | Published on Tuesday 6 October 2015
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Playground | Old Red Lion | 13 Oct-7 Nov
You might remember (or you might not) that we did a Q&A not long ago with Peter Hamilton, regarding the production of his acclaimed play, ‘Bridlington’. His latest piece ‘Playground’ reunites the playwright with ‘Bridlington’ director Ken McClymont, and though it sounds kind of gruesome, it also sounds quite promising. See this page here for info and tickets.
Jessie Cave – I Loved Her | Soho Theatre | 13-17 Oct (pictured)
If you’re a fan of those there Harry Potter films you will recognise Jessie Cave from her turn as Lavender Brown, but believe me, you can forget all that right, and start recognising her talents as a live comedy performer instead. This set is vivid, whimsical, and delivered via the medium of stand-up story-telling, shadow puppetry and masks. It’s very rare for me to say this, but really – not to be missed. See the venue website here for more info and tickets.
Hannibal Buress – The Comedy Camisado Tour | The Forum | 13 Oct
This US stand up has an impeccable and increasingly starry comedy CV, so if you’ve not heard of him yet, then something is quite clearly very wrong. He’s been a writer on Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock, he’s been nominated for an Emmy, and he’s done stand up on a host of Comedy Central shows. Oh, and there was that Bill Cosby routine, of course. Anyway, go see him. He’s good. Details here.
