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

Orwell That Ends Well | Museum Of Comedy | 3 Jul (pictured)
I think y’all might be aware by now that we are suckers for a punny title, so that might be one reason for our decision to include this show in the tips, but we also have great confidence in recent Funny Women finalist Lolly Jones, whose third satirical stand up show this is. In it she explores our digital footprints, to get to the bottom of why Amazon seems to know what we need before we do, and how Facebook can predict future friendships. See the venue website here for more.

All Hell Toupee | Leicester Square Theatre 3-5 Jul
Well, look at that. Another punny title for us, and you can expect another one woman-experience, this time from Kate Bowes Renna, who performs this tale of love, blackmail and hair loss which she co-devised with Jeremy Stockwell, who also directs. Expect “bizarre characters and ingenious twists, also music, wigs and guacamole”. Click here for info.

The Cavalry Behind You | Theatre503 | 3-4 Jul
“A soldier lies breathless in the mud of the Somme, and cannot bring himself to fire another shot. In the mountains of Austria, a man swears he’ll never fire one. Leaving his wife in England, a volunteer stalks a man he has sworn to destroy. A wife endures a life of loneliness and slavery, and a son leaves the father who hates him. A young girl fills shells with gunpowder, and the war stumbles madly into its fourth year.” Six different World War One stories, based on truth, guaranteed to be poignant. Details here.
