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

Giants and Lolly Adefope | Battersea Arts Centre | 30 Jul
A double bill of hot edfringe preview action for you here, featuring acclaimed up and comer Lolly Adefope with her second hour of character comedy, and sketch comedy troupe Giants, for whom expectations are pretty high, despite their newcomer status. For more info and to book, step right this way.

David O’Doherty et al | National Maritime Museum | 30 Jul
Argh, almost completely forgot to remind you all to head to the Greenwich Comedy Festival this week, and now it’s almost over. I hope you remembered it by yourself, but if not, rectify the situation by heading over there ASAP to see the great line-up of acts performing today. David O’Doherty is top-billed but the rest are also awesome – Rob Delaney, Richard Herring and Ed Gamble. See this link here for info.

The Tempest For Young People With Autism | Southbank Centre | 29-31 July
This is a specially-produced staging of the Shakespeare play tailored to the needs of young people with autism, specifically those aged ten and upwards. Only a small number of viewers can be admitted (though each can be accompanied by two adults) and it sounds as though they are able to interact with the performers. Great that stuff like this happens, frankly. See the venue website here for more info.
