Comedy ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 17 Nov: Stand Up And Slam, Lucy Frederick – Positively Livid, Colin Hoult/Anna Mann – A Sketch Show For Depressives
By TW Editorial | Published on Thursday 10 November 2016
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Stand Up And Slam | Camden Comedy Club | 17 Nov
Remember how earlier in the week we had a Cheer Up Monday? Well, as it’s cold and dark November, I thought we’d have a Cheer Up Thursday as well. So, lots of comedy, starting with this, a regular event at Camden Comedy Club, which is, as the name suggests, a comedic poetry slam type event featuring six comedy and poetry acts. Our reviewer saw the show when it was on up in Edinburgh this summer and thought it was corking. See this page here for all the details.
Lucy Frederick – Positively Livid | Museum Of Comedy | 17 Nov (pictured)
And so to someone else who has won friends amongst our Fringe reviewing team, Lucy Frederick, who performs her latest show, promising to tell “a cautionary tale about anger and the dangers of swallowing the grenade of your own fury until your insides are all burned away.” Hmm, I think maybe I need to see this. Head this way for info.
Colin Hoult/Anna Mann – A Sketch Show For Depressives | Soho Theatre | 17-19 Nov
With hindsight, I should probably have called today Edfringe Thursday rather than Cheer Up Thursday, because yes, this is yet another show that was on up there in the Scottish capital this summer. The much acclaimed stand up (who you have surely seen on telly) returns in the guise of his “delightful” alter-ego Anna Mann. Click this link here for more.
