Comedy Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 27 Feb: Homecomings, Jamali Maddix – Chickens Come Home To Roost, Bring Your Own Baby
By TW Editorial | Published on Monday 20 February 2017
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Homecomings – The Political History of Crack and Smack | Theatre503 | 27 Feb
This performance is part of Synergy’s previously mentioned Homcomings strand focusing on new plays by prisoners and ex-prisoners about getting out and going home. This one is about Neil and Mandy, whose paths first cross on the night of the Manchester uprising in 1981. “Little do they know how this event will shape their future lives”. See this page here for more.
Jamali Maddix – Chickens Come Home To Roost | Soho Theatre | 27 Feb-4 Mar (pictured)
The blurb on the Soho Theatre website calls Jamali Maddix a “rising star” and I am not about to dispute that, not least because of his award win and TV appearances, but mainly because the reviews of this debut hour suggest that he’s a very promising act. See the venue website here for details.
Bring Your Own Baby Comedy | Up The Creek Comedy Club | 27 Feb
I wish they’d done events like this when I had a little baby, though to be fair, mine was such screamer I’m not sure I’d have been welcome anywhere. But let’s put my dark parenting history behind us and look at the positives here: this is such a lovely idea for the parents of tiny tots (though it’s not exclusive, you are allowed to attend without displaying a child) and they do have to be tiny – under twelve months. There’s a fab line up for this show, and for their many others staged around London. See this page here for this particular show and this website here for more info on all events.
