Comedy ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 19 Oct: Ahir Shah, The Horne Section’s Question Session, Crouch End Comedy Festival
By TW Editorial | Published on Monday 12 October 2015
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Ahir Shah | Soho Theatre | 19-24 Oct (pictured)
Extremely talented young man Ahir Shah heads to Soho Theatre for a run of his fourth hour-long show ‘Distant’, in which the comedian covers a diverse range of topics – World War One, cigarettes, vegetarianism, Islamism, capitalism, politics, climate change, love, and pirates – and which achieved much critical acclaim and played to packed houses during the Edinburgh Fringe in August. See this page here for all the info.
The Horne Section’s Question Session | Soho Theatre | 19 Oct
Meanwhile, in the same venue (oops, I did it again) you can also see the beauteous Horne Section’s Question Session, which offers a quizzy twist on the normal format. We’re Alex Horne and Horne Section mad here at TW towers, and with good reason. If you’re already a fan, you will love it, and if you’re not already a fan, then you need to be. See this page here. Now.
Crouch End Comedy Festival | various venues | 19-25 Oct
Oh no, look what else I did. Three comedy tips on one day. I’ll tell you what, tomorrow, it’ll be another genre completely. All theatre. I promise. Anyway, you won’t want to miss all that’s on offer at the Crouch End Comedy Festival, so I could hardly have ignored it. It starts today, and includes pretty much everyone working in comedy today that I have heard of. Well, maybe not quite. But there’s a fantastic range on board – the likes of Phil Nichol, Roisin Conaty, Ria Lina, Kevin Eldon, Andrew Maxwell… Oh, I’m tired of looking now, there are so many. Have a look for yourself, here.
