And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…

The Hogwallops | Jackson’s Lane | 14-18 Sep (pictured)
Lost In Translation have performed this super show of circus, slapstick and storytelling for two consecutive years at the Edinburgh Fringe, and we love it. It’s inspired by Roald Dahl’s ‘The Twits’ and Ettora Scola’s film ‘Ugly, Dirty and Bad’ and depicts the chaotic antics of a family of misfits. It’s brilliant and funny and is suitable for all ages, so nice for a family outing. See this page here for all the info.

Stand Up For Syria | Union Chapel | 14 Sep
This is for a good cause and has a completely amazing line-up that entirely speaks for itself. Just look: Bridget Christie, Nish Kumar, Stewart Lee, Michael Legge, Josie Long, Eleanor Tiernan plus another guest that isn’t named. That’s six of my very favouritest comedians, right there. Apart from the unnamed guest, who could potentially turn out to be someone I don’t like so much, but a) chances are slim and b) the other six acts would cancel them out. Quick, quick, get tickets here.

Where Do All The Dead Pigeons Go? | Camden People’s Theatre | 14-15 Sep
This is another of those shows we saw in Edinburgh this year, and it could probably be described as a weird but absolutely wonderful affair. Performance artist Scott Turnbull tells a surreal tale of an ordinary chap on his way to a far-off space station and explores themes of loneliness in something of a fantastical flight of fancy… certainly unusual, and definitely worth seeing. Head this way for details.
