Comedy Theatre
Today in London: Wednesday 17 July 2013
By TW Editorial | Published on Wednesday 10 July 2013
Today in London’s box of ‘what’s on’ tricks: a highly-rated political comic, a sharp-minded mop-top with gripes to bare, and a biblical analogy-at-sea. Read on for info on what’s on show in the capital tonight…
TODAY’S COMEDY CHOICES
James Acaster – Lawnmower, Leicester Square Theatre, 17 Jul
Edinburgh Comedy Award-nominated braniac James Acaster might appear “adorably awkward”, but (as tonight’s show will prove), he has a lot to say on a host of topics, dammit. ‘Lawnmower’ finds him giving the lot an angry mangling. Details and tickets here.
Mark Thomas – 100 Acts Of Minor Dissent, Canada Water Culture Space, 17 Jul (pictured)
Political miscreant Mark Thomas logs the 100 “hilarious, mainly legal and occasionally inspirin” acts of smalltime havoc he’s committed over the past year. Details and tickets here.
TODAY’S THEATRE CHOICES
Billy Budd, Southwark Playhouse, 17 Jul – 10 Aug
The nine-strong cast of theatre co Secret/Heart take on Herman Melville’s nautical recasting of the biblical ‘Fall’. In it, charismatic new sailor-boy Billy proves a hit with all his shipmates aboard a British Napoleonic man-of-war; that is… all bar one. Details and tickets here.
