Three To See on 30 Jan: Suzi Ruffell – Common, Susie Yousseff – Check Youseff Before You Wreck Yousseff, Cautionary Tales For Daughters
By TW Editorial | Published on Monday 23 January 2017
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Suzi Ruffell – Common | Soho Theatre | 30 Jan-4 Feb (pictured)
Today I thought we would have a Suzi/e theme and my first choice is serious talent Suzi Ruffell, who very much won the heart of our reviewer when performing this particular show – in which she explores her family and working class roots – at the old edfringe in the summer of 2016. If you haven’t seen her perform yet, you’re missing a treat. Book your tickets here.
Susie Yousseff – Check Youseff Before You Wreck Yousseff | Soho Theatre | 30 Jan
My second Susie of the day is also on at Soho Theatre, but this one hails from the other side of the world, where she’s achieved a lot of success as a comedian, actor, writer and improviser, with a number of TV, stage and radio appearances under her belt. She’s also had successful runs at the Edinburgh, Melbourne and Sydney festivals and is a regular at Sydney Comedy Store. One night only though! See this page here.
Cautionary Tales For Daughters | Jermyn Street Theatre | 30 Jan-11 Feb
Yes, okay, I ran out of Suzies. Or Susies. Or whatever the collective term is. Instead I have a Tanya for your delectation, specifically the hugely clever Tanya Holt, creator of this acclaimed song-cycle which incorporates serious concerns with humour and music, telling tales of “the hapless, feckless and foolish” for the benefit of us all. See the venue website here for details.
