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

Sean McLoughlin: Whatever It Takes | Museum Of Comedy | 26-28 Oct
I’ve heard a good many good things about young Sean McLoughlin (I can call him ‘young Sean McLoughlin’ because I am so very old nowadays), and the fact that he’s supported the likes of Katherine Ryan and Doc Brown on tour should tell you that he’s doing pretty well. In fact, the fact that he is doing pretty well career-wise, yet experiencing adversity in his personal life, is the subject matter at the core of this set. See more info and book tickets here.

Handa’s Surprise | Jackson’s Lane | 26-30 Oct
This show is based on a book that was a huge favourite with my daughter back when she was a smaller child than she is today, and so I suspect that this lovely-sounding adaptation is something that will go down very well with your younger children, age two-ish to six-ish. It is a lovely story, set in Kenya, featuring lots of interesting animals and colourful fruits, and this staging incorporates puppetry, song and audience participation. More info right here.

Aidan Goatley – Mr Blue Sky | Hen and Chickens |26 Oct (pictured)
Mr Aidan Goatley is a bit of a TW favourite, frequently charming our Edinburgh Fringe team with his funny yet touching shows. The plethora of very warm reviews he’s collected from our writers over the years ought to be proof enough that this show will be worth turning out for on a dark October Monday. More info can be found here.
