Every Monday our editors bring you their personal highlights of the week ahead. Emma McAlpine selects her top three comedy nights.

Chris Cox

From Monday 8th March
Chris Cox @ Pleasance Theatre
Prepare to be amazed as Chris Cox, the mind-reader who can't read minds, brings his award-winning show to the Pleasance Theatre for a short run. Using a mixture of guesswork, illusion, psychology and comedy; Chris will show you how the mundane can be magical, how you can always guarantee a seat on a train and make the objects of your desire find you irresistible.


From Tuesday 9th March
Russell Kane @ Soho Theatre
After a sell-out Edinburgh Fringe run last August, Russell Kane brings his blank verse play to the Soho Theatre. Shakespeare is often reinvented in modern form nowadays and here, Russell turns this tedious notion on its head, re-working silly modern woes into Fakespearian verse.


Wednesday 10th March
One Hundred Days to Make Me a Better Person
@ Work Dalston
An extravaganza of comedic tomfoolery is in store for lucky patrons this evening, as the London Word Festival presents 'One Hundred Days to Make Me a Better Person' at the recently revealed East London location. The show is the brainchild of inventive comedienne Josie Long.
