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

Uncle Vanya | Almeida Theatre | 5 Feb-26 March
Well, I hate to use an ad-line turned hackneyed cliché on any day of the week, but this kind of a case of “exactly what it says on the tin” – Uncle Vanya, at The Almeida, with a host of familiar (and talented) TV faces among the cast, including Paul Rhys, Jessica Brown Findlay, Tobias Menzies and Richard Lumsden. See this page here for all the info.

Late Night Laughs | Royal Albert Hall | 5 Feb
There are probably folks out there who wouldn’t really associate the Royal Albert Hall with top class comedy, but they’d be wrong in that regard, because they’ve hosted a lot these great ‘Late Night Laughs’ events of late, featuring some of my very favourite comedians (the likes of Luisa Omielan, Bec Hill and Sofie Hagen). Tonight’s line-up consists of Carl Donnelly, Bobby Mair and Mae Martin, all of whom are excellent. See this page here for more info.

Wild Bill – Sonnet Of A Bardsterd | Vault Festival | 5 Feb (pictured)
I’ve read a few reviews of this and I think it sounds kind of eccentric but I still want to give it a go. I think we can expect a highly energetic (maybe scary) performance, in this piece that depicts the bard as a drunken imposter, a literary terrorist, descending into madness. Yes, I know. See all the info and book tickets here.
