Comedy Theatre ThisWeek In London
Three To See on 23 Sep: Backstage In Biscuitland, Mae Martin, Joey Page
By TW Editorial | Published on Wednesday 16 September 2015
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Backstage In Biscuitland | Barbican Centre | 22-16 Sep
We know for sure this is brilliant because it took Edinburgh by plaudit-encrusted storm (no, I don’t know how you encrust a storm, either) in 2014 and returned for a second triumphant run in 2015. It’s a show about Tourettes, created and performed by a woman who has the syndrome. She’s “neurologically incapable of staying on script”, says the blurb – bound to lead to a great deal of charming spontaneity. See this page here for more details.
Mae Martin – Us | The Invisible Dot | 21 Sep-1 Oct
Award nominated Canadian comedian Mae Martin makes her way to The Invisible Dot for a reprise of her most recent Edfringe road-tested show ‘Us’, in which she tackles the topics of identity, sexuality, biphobia and loneliness. She’s long been a bit of a favourite for us, and we are also convinced she will never age. More info and tickets from this page here.
Joey Page – Catastrophe Party | Camden Comedy Club | 23 Sep (pictured)
I know that I probably say this about too many people (not that you’d know that, I normally say it in private, with friends, not in print) but I feel as though Joey Page ought to be attracting way more attention than he usually does. We love him, we’ve given him glowing reviews in Edinburgh, and now we want everyone in London to go and see him too. Though I am not sure that everyone in London could fit in the room at the same time. Maybe you could form some kind of tag team? Anyway, info and tickets here.
