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

Beth Vyse – As Funny As Cancer | Soho Theatre | 21 Nov (pictured)
The brilliant Beth Vyse has been performing this show about her own experiences of breast cancer for a couple of years now, and, despite its sombre subject matter, anyone who has seen it will testify to just how funny it is. If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s possibly time you did, so book your tickets for this one-night-only opportunity ASAP. Head this way.

Making Faces – Sketches | Leicester Square Theatre | 21-22 Nov
This lot made quite an impact on one of our reviewers a few years back, so it’s good to see them making their way to central London for a two night stand at the Leicester Square Theatre. The 2016 Musical Comedy Awards finalists pledge to “guide you through their weird world of high pace hilarity, failed romantic comedy, fancy dress and ecological hip hop”, which sounds lots of fun to me. See the venue website here for info.

The Rising Cost Of Cabbage by Alys Torrance | Soho Theatre | 21 Nov
I’ve done that thing where I accidentally choose two shows on at the same venue. But in this instance, they are both going to be really good, and they are both only on for one night, so you see, my hands are tied. Anyway, I bloody love cabbage (really, coleslaw is my favourite food) but that’s not why I want to see this. It was the promise of beautiful storytelling and human tales of hunger, lust and cutting free that drew me in. See this page here for info.
