Comedy Spoken Word ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 7 Nov: Simon Slack – The Fantasist, London Stories – Made By Migrants, Randy Writes A Novel
By TW Editorial | Published on Monday 31 October 2016
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Simon Slack – The Fantasist | Soho Theatre | 7-8 Nov
Simon Slack is the comical creation of Robert Cawsey, who comedy fans may know better as one half of highly successful sketch duo Guilt & Shame, and his is a show that went down well in Edinburgh this summer. Expect a “wild journey of physical comedy, crazy dancing and puppetry”. Head this way for a compelling dose of the absurd.
London Stories – Made By Migrants | 4-26 Nov
Following on from the success of London Stories in 2013, Battersea Arts Centre invite you into their building for a festival of true stories from people who have come to London from elsewhere, and made it their home. The tales are told to small groups, by the people who lived them. Can’t help thinking this will be a fascinating and enlightening experience. See the venue website here for more info.
Randy Writes A Novel | Soho Theatre | 7-19 Nov (pictured)
And another show that’s made its way to the Soho following a successful Edinburgh run is this solo offering from Australian celebrity puppet Randy, Sammy J’s sometime partner in crime. It got a Comedy Award nomination this summer, so you know it will be good, plus it’s a puppet reading excerpts from his unpublished novel, whilst getting distracted by his own hate filled ramblings… how could that possibly fail to entertain? See this page here for details.
