Comedy Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 23 Jan: Glaucoma, Bilal Zafar – Cakes, Katy Brand – I Was A Teenage Christian
By TW Editorial | Published on Monday 16 January 2017
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Glaucoma | The Cockpit | 23-27 Jan (pictured)
This tells the story of three girls, who, after being arrested for protesting against corruption, “meet an array of strange characters from the systems and legislations they oppose and fight to hold on to their firm beliefs, identities and humanity in their surreal, minimalist prison.” It’s devised and written by award-winning group CapaTaro, and looks very promising indeed. See this page here for more.
Bilal Zafar – Cakes | Soho Theatre | 23-28 Jan
And onto another award winner, New Acts of the Year 2016 prize recipient Bilal Zafar, who appears as part of the much-tipped season of Edinburgh Comedy Award nominees and winners. In this show he tells the tale of how he became a whipping boy for the far right when his Twitter handle was mistaken for the account of a muslim-only bakery. See the venue website here for details.
Katy Brand – I Was A Teenage Christian | Soho Theatre | 23-28 Jan
If you’ve already seen ‘Cakes’ then perhaps you’d like to head to Soho Theatre anyway, for another show with a religiously inspired theme, Katy Brand’s ‘I Was A Teenage Christian’. It’s a bit different from the character comedy that Brand shot to fame with, so expect something a great deal more personal and anecdotal. Head this way for info.
