Comedy Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 3 Nov: Jen Wakefield – Girl In Da Corner, FFS, Trestle
By TW Editorial | Published on Friday 27 October 2017
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Jen Wakefield – Girl In Da Corner | Soho Theatre | 3 Nov
I’ve not seen her perform, but I’ve heard tell via the ye olde edfringe grapevine that she’s a very promising up and comer. This show was her ed fest debut, which sounds like it offers a combination of character comedy and stand up poetry, and boasts, amongst other offerings, a grime tutorial and a dating show concept with a questionable premise… see the venue website here for more.
FFS | Camden People’s Theatre | 3-5 Nov (pictured)
This is part of the aforementioned Shoot The Breeze season over at CPT, which is a good reason already for tipping it, but it’s also called ‘FFS’ and that’s a sequence of letters I am extremely experienced at typing. And of course, on further investigation it turned out to be something I think everyone should see: a glittering cabaret style show about overcoming eco-anxiety with bearded alt-drag lady Timberlina. Info here.
Trestle | Southwark Playhouse | 1-25 Nov
“Harry feels like life is beginning to tick down, his autumn years spent quietly caring for the community he loves. Denise thinks life begins in retirement and she’s dancing like she’s still at high school. When their paths cross at the village hall, their understanding of the time they have left changes irrevocably. What do community, growing old, and falling in love really mean?” Stewart Pringle’s ‘Trestle’, the latest winner of Papatango’s new writing prize, gets its premiere at Southwark Playhouse and we are expecting good things. See this page here for details.
