And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…

CABARET/COMEDY: Stand Up Tragedy – Tragic Horror | Hackney Attic | 25 Oct
A variety show/podcast with a downbeat (and for one time only, gory) twist, this certificate 18 iteration of Stand Up Tragedy features sad acts like surreal cabaret septet The Mechanisms, comedian and actress Sajeela Kershi, James McKay and Emily Snee. Details and tickets here.

THEATRE/KIDS: That Catherine Bennett Show | Queen Elizabeth Hall, Southbank Centre | 25-28 Oct
A repeat feature at the SB Centre over the past year or so, it’s this inspirational skit by singing, ThreeWeeks Editors’ Award-winning performance artist Bryony Kimmings, who with her niece Taylor decides to play the ‘tween machine’ at its own tacky game by inventing a new kind of popstar. Catherine is into dinosaurs, bikes, pasta and friendship, not in ‘bling’. Details and tickets here.

THEATRE: Wet House | Soho Theatre | until 16 Nov (pictured)
The unblinking first full script from Paddy Campbell – who gives a quick intro to the play via the ThisWeek London podcast – ‘Wet House’ is set in… well, a ‘wet house’, a hostel for homeless alcoholics in which drinking is permitted. Inspired by his own experiences, the story follows a young graduate who winds up working in such a place, looking at the singular circumstances of those living in, and staffing, the facility. Details and tickets here.
