Comedy Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 6 Feb: Bush Hall Presents with James Acaster, Run The Beast Down, Mat Ewins – Mat Ewins Will Make You A Star

And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Bush Hall Presents with James Acaster | Bush Hall | 6 Feb
The very brilliant and rather en vogue Mr James Acaster heads the bill at this promising night of comedy which features two other immensely talented comedians, Elis James and Dane Baptiste. Pity there’s no women aboard, but you know, it’s not the end of the world. Head this way to book your tickets.
Run The Beast Down | Finborough Theatre | 31 Jan-25 Feb (pictured)
“Charlie has stopped sleeping. His neighbour’s cat has been dismembered. And worse, he’s being haunted by an urban fox. In a haze of neon-soaked insomnia, lines blur between reality and fantasy”. This sounds pretty interesting, as it’s the sort of mixed genre piece that combines theatre with music, but also because of the magical realism. I bloody love magic realism. See this page here for details.
Mat Ewins – Mat Ewins Will Make You a Star | Soho Theatre | 6-8 feb
And another suggestion for comedy to brighten your sludgy February Monday, the ever-so-good Mat Ewins, who is, I guarantee, lots of fun. We gave him four stars when we saw his Edinburgh show in 2015 and our reviewer found lots to praise, using phrases like “deft gags” and words like “charm”. And he’s going to make you a star. What have you got to lose? See the venue website here.
