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

Between The Sheets | London Wonderground | 12 May
Before I go any further, I would just like to clarify that this is on more than once, but the dates aren’t easy to list effectively – various, until September, basically – but you should take this chance to see it anyway, because it’s not on again until early June. London Cabaret Award winner Miss Polly Rae presents her acclaimed celebration of contemporary burlesque, a mixture of song, dance, comedy and circus. Head this way for all the info.

Blue/Orange | Young Vic | 12 May-2 Jul
Gosh, it doesn’t feel like sixteen years since Joe Penhall’s ‘Blue/Orange’ premiered in London, but my goodness, that’s how long it is. The play’s themes haven’t remotely lost their relevance in that time, though, and this seems like a very promising production of a modern classic, not least because it’s directed by the much critically praised Matthew Xia. Here is the link you need if you would like to book tickets.

The Wonderful World Of Lieven Scheire | Soho Theatre | 12-14 May
Scientifically orientated Belgian comedian Lieven Scheire explores Einstein’s Theory Of Special Relativity, amongst other things, in what might be regarded as a lecture with funny stuff, rather than your traditional stand up set. In any case, I am very sure you will be 100% entertained, whether you are good at science or not – this show sold out in Edinburgh last summer, and that doesn’t surprise us at all. See the venue website here for details and to book.
