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

Felicity Ward | Soho Theatre | 3-5 Mar (pictured)
We’ve been fans of Felicity Ward for a rather long time now, and this particular show went down particularly well with our reviewer in Edinburgh this summer. In it the comedian brilliantly handles difficult subject matter – anxiety and irritable bowel syndrome – yet makes it brilliantly entertaining. Exactly what I would expect from a performer of her calibre. See the venue website here for more info.

German Skerries | Orange Tree Theatre | 3 Mar-2 Apr
Apparently this is the first ‘major’ revival of this award-winning 1977 play from well loved writer Robert Holman, and it’s in the safe hands of Up In Arms (see what I did there?), the critically acclaimed touring theatre group led by Alice Hamilton and Barney Norris. Described as an “uplifting portrait of human hope and vulnerability”, it focuses on things which make us human – emotions, friendship, gatherings and departures. See this page here for all the info.

Butter | Vault Festival | 2-6 Mar
This caught my eye because it’s about the relationship between women and food, and I think that’s probably something that needs to be talked about and investigated, given that said relationship seems to me to be, for so many women, one way or another, completely dysfunctional. And I feel as though this could potentially be a really eye opening thing for cis-men, actually. Go on, men. Go. Buy your tickets here.
