Time Out Live: Laugh Out Loud @ Bloomsbury Theatre

Wednesday 7th April
One of London's best venues to catch comedy headliners, the Bloomsbury Theatre will host this month's Laugh Out Loud gig and what a line-up they've got in store. Live At The Apollo star Shappi Khorsandi, Shooting Stars regular Angelos Epithemiou, 2010 Hackney Empire 'Best New Act' winner Abandonman and The Thick Of It's Miles Jupp are just some of the awesome names on the bill.



Eric's Tales of the Sea @ Soho Theatre

From Friday 9th April
A genuine Royal Navy veteran who joined the service at 16 tells his story of life on a submarine from emergency escape training to dive-bombing sharks. One of the higlights of the 2009 Edinburgh Fringe, this is a poignant, funny and thoroughly absorbing tale.



Live at the Chapel @ Union Chapel
Saturday 10th April
Held in the stunning Union Chapel church in Islington, this month's gig features none other than Mighty Boosh star Noel Fielding who takes the headline spot, with some excellent support from masterful raconteur Greg Davies (The Inbetweeners), the wonderfully offbeat Joe Wilkinson and Dan Atkinson, shying away from his usual role of charming compere this evening for a full stand-up set.
