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

Somewhere Under The Rainbow | The London Irish Centre | 19 Aug
This show, which is on for one night only as part of the Camden Fringe, garnered a five star review when one of our team saw it at the Edinburgh Fringe back in 2012. Sharon Sexton plays Liza Minnelli in this one woman musical show, telling the story of the powerhouse singer’s long and eclectic career. See this page here for more info.

Rambert River Stage Weekend | National Theatre | 19-21 Aug
The latest lot to set up weekend camp over at the National Theatre’s free River Stage are internationally renowned dance company Rambert, who will present a fab line up of performances and dance classes for a range of ages. If you’re not busy, you really should take some of this in over the course of the weekend – not least because it won’t cost a penny. Head this way for details.

Joe Pera Talks You To Sleep | Aces & Eights | 15-21 Aug
If you’re looking for comedy that’s the definition of ‘different’, then this is probably it. I mean, we’re not talking wild and wacky, here – we’re talking “low key jokes and stories meant to put the audience to sleep”. Pera has been rather successful with this in his native US – this show has been made into an animated version, plus he’s appeared on Comedy Central and NBC’s ‘Late Night with Seth Meyers’. Also part of Camden Fringe, see the festival website here.
