COMEDY: Paul Foot – Hovercraft Symphony In Gammon # Major | Bloomsbury Theatre | 18 Oct
One of the real beautiful freaks of the comic scene, sylvan wit Paul Foot kicks his latest show into gear, which is apparently it’s ‘to do with’… erm, fish or something? Oh well, here’s the synopsis: “Glistening in the wake of last night’s pearl saga, premium line-caught Sally’s clam fist choir socks it to the salt babes big time baybayyyy. Cutlery cage enquiries? First come, first preserved”. I give up. Details and tickets here.

COMEDY/SPOKEN WORD: Nicholas Parsons – Just A Laugh A Minute | Cutty Sark Studio Theatre | 18 Oct
Radio and real life personality Nicholas Parsons sorts through the memorabilia of his showbiz life’s work and play, throwing in the odd bit of mimicry to make the stories more vivid. Details and tickets here.

Send via airmail c/o award-winning children’s playwright Mike Kenny, ‘Flat’ Stanley Lambchop, the boy so paper-thin he can fit in the postbox, appears in a singing, dancing – and flat fingers crossed, no shredding – musical based on the book by Mike Brown. Details and tickets here.
