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

Spencer Jones is The Herbert in Proper Job | Soho Theatre | 21-31 Oct
The fabulous Spencer Jones brought this show to Edinburgh this summer to much critical acclaim, and now it’s London’s chance to see this talented purveyor of prop-heavy comedy in action. “A show about failing, failure, how to fail and why you sometimes have to fail to win”. Which includes lots of hilariously goofy mucking about. Don’t miss it. Get your info and tickets here.

Heidi O’Loughlin – A Woman Talking | Soho Theatre | 22 – 24 Oct
Award nominated New Zealander Heidi O’Loughlin has already taken this shows to the Melbourne and Edinburgh festivals, so she should be pretty slick at it by now, and it sounds really interesting, focusing as it does on her ancestors and Tahitian heritage – kind of sounds like an episode of ‘Who Do You Think You Are’, but, you know, funny. See this page to book your tickets.

Soweto Kinch | 606 Club | 22 Oct
One of my favourite award winning music people (not least because I am an ardent fan of saxophony) plays a special gig at the lovely 606 jazz club today. Like the blurb on the venue website says, his music kind of defies categorisation a bit, given that it combines the be-bop influenced saxophone with all that nice hip hoppy stuff. You might have to book a dinner table, though, to ensure you get in. See this website here for details.
