Comedy Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 9 Jun: Held, Hurricane Katie, Zoe Lyons
By TW Editorial | Published on Friday 2 June 2017
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Held | Tristan Bates Theatre | 6-17 Jun
“When young offender Jamie is thrown into the harsh reality of an adult prison, he soon falls prey to the rules and control of the older hardened prisoners, in a world where nothing is free, as passions heighten within their confined surroundings. Fynn is desperate for a way out, not only from prison but struggling to breathe against the strangling ties which threaten to destroy him.” A hard hitting exploration of what happens when these two lives come together, expect strong language, and scenes of sex and drug use.

Hurricane Katie | The Museum Of Comedy | 9 Jun
It’s rather wet and windy as I write this in the first week of June (come on, summer, please) so it seems appropriate to recommend a performer – Katie Pritchard – who claims to be “blowing over the patio furniture of comedy lowing over the patio furniture of comedy, partially damaging the garden fence of genre and dropping a large, sturdy branch onto the car bonnet of musicality”. Expect jokes, music, poems, dancing and facts from this up and coming comedian. All the details here.
Zoe Lyons – Little Misfit | Soho Theatre | 8-10 Jun (pictured)
And another comedy recommendation, this time the always-excellent oft-on-our-screens-lately Zoe Lyons, who brings her most recent hour – a great success at last year’s edfringe – for a short run at Soho Theatre. The show is about her early life as a self-confessed misfit, but also the realisation that in fact, she no longer has any desire to fit in. For info and to book, see the venue website here.
