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

The Elves And The Shoemaker | Jacksons Lane | 30 Apr (pictured)
I’ve seen quite a lot of shows based on this story in recent years (what with having a child, and all) but I never get tired of it, because I really like it. This version threatens to be a “topsy turvy retelling”, and the premise sounds great, plus, it features puppetry, humour, original music and magic. For ages 4 and up, so a nice one for a family outing, unless you have pouting teens. Head this way for all the info.

Lester City’s Super Sunday | The Comedy Room | 30 Apr
I’m just going to leave this to them: “Improv squad Lester City host this hotly tipped London fixture at their infamous Lord Stanley stadium. Joining them on the lineup will be a selection of London’s finest and fittest improvisational talent. These sparky youngsters are match ready and fighting hard to stay out of the relegation zone. Don’t miss out on this much anticipated premier league clash”. Click this link here for details.

Red Riding Hood And The Wolf | Little Angel Theatre | 27 Apr-16 Jul
Right, one improv comedy night’s enough for you grown-ups, here’s something else for the kids. It’s not one for teeny tots though, because this offers a bit of a subversion of the traditional tale, as its young heroine creates her own story because she can’t really relate to Little Red Riding Hood. Expect dark humour, and an exploration of friendship, acceptance and overcoming prejudice. See this page here.
