Comedy Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See On 5 Oct: Fortune, Can You Hear Me Running?, Ahir Shah – Machines
By TW Editorial | Published on Wednesday 28 September 2016
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Fortune | Battersea Arts Centre | 5-8 Oct
Coney director Tassos Stevens and frequent collaborator, musician Nick Ryan present this not-Coney piece that sounds very much like it reflects its title: “Tassos set out to make a show about fortune, chance and destiny. Then he heard a story that changed everything and made him realise that perhaps his fortune had been with him all along. He tells this and other stories whilst making a running bet with the universe via buckets of water. Meanwhile, Nick set out to build an instrument to capture serendipity – a sonic pendulum”. Sounds intriguing. See this page for details.
Can You Hear Me Running? | Pleasance Theatre | 4-23 Oct
Here’s another that sounds intriguing, and extremely promising. It’s a play based on the real life experience of Louise Breckon Richards, a performer who lost her voice to a rare condition and decided to overcome it by running the London Marathon. Not sure how the London Marathon would bring back someone’s voice, but I’m keen to find out if it worked. Click this link for info.
Ahir Shah – Machines | Soho Theatre | 4-8 Oct
Very much acclaimed and on the up comedian Ahir Shah performs his latest show for your viewing pleasure and all signs point to the fact that you should not miss this opportunity. Well, some of them. Anyway, you’ll love his approach to our fears for the future, and what’s more, the set apparently contains “an absolutely cracking joke about lizards”. See the venue website here for more info.
