Comedy Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 22 Sep: Fake It Til You Make It, Sam Simmons, Portrait
By TW Editorial | Published on Tuesday 15 September 2015
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Fake It ‘Til You Make It | Soho Theatre | 22 Sep-17 Oct
The award winning artist Briony Kimmings (we gave her an award, in fact) brings her latest show, the award winning ‘Fake It ‘Til You Make It’ to Soho Theatre for a sizably meaty run, which is pleasing. You might find the show slightly affecting, or poignant, because it’s about clinical depression, and she made it in collaboration with her partner, who suffers from it; but I suspect there’s a lot of warmth and hope here too. See more info here.
Sam Simmons: Spaghetti For Breakfast | Soho Theatre | 22 Sep-10 Oct
Oh no! I broke the unbreakable rule that says I can’t mention one venue more than once in one set of tips. Well, I’ve broken it now. And perhaps it can be fixed. I kind of had to do it though, because you won’t want to miss Sam Simmons. He has just won the Foster’s Comedy Award, and this is the very show he won that award with. More info from right about here.
Portrait | Camden People’s Theatre | 22-26 Sep (pictured)
And on to ‘Portrait’. Thank goodness this isn’t on at the Soho Theatre. No, this time we are back to the Camden People’s Theatre, and their oft-mentioned festival of feminism. ‘Portrait’ is the work of actress Racheal Ofori, who here performs her first solo show. It’s had a great critical reception elsewhere, so I think we can count on this to be a fascinating look at cultural stereotypes, identity and role models. See this page here for more info and tickets.
