And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
COMEDY: Twins | The Invisible Dot | 19-20 Nov
Let’s get this straight; joined-at-the-hip comics Annie McGrath (the “navigator of the off-beat”) and Jack Barry (the “gormless” natural humourist) are 100% identical twins. If not in the genetic, nor the ‘being born on the same day’ sense. The pair’s self-titled first show, is a 60 mins mish-mash of self-deprecating sketches, droll flights of fancy, and “a few theatrical scenes”. Details and tickets here.
THEATRE: Howie The Rookie | Barbican | 19-29 Nov (pictured)
First produced in 1999, playwright Mark Rowe’s dark, funny and “outrageous” horror-ride into Dublin’s underworld stars Tom Vaughan-Lawlor as both tough guy Howie, and soft-hearted novice Rookie, and also as a cast of rather hideous supporting characters; all of whose lives cross over en route to a common misfortune. Details and tickets here.
THEATRE/SPOKEN WORD: Nothing | Camden People’s Theatre | 19-22 Nov
A meditation on ‘alienation and being young’ by Sunday Times Young Playwriting Award-winning young playwright Lulu Raczka, ‘Nothing’ finds its cast picking one of eight monologues (on topics like action films, sex, talking and… buses) at random and, in fact, on stage; and improvising their own new edit then and there. Details and tickets here.
