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

Monday 7th June
Laughter/Pain @ Lyceam Theatre
Undoubtedly the second best comedy line-up so far this year (the O2 Comedy Gala is going to be hard to beat) this charity gig features the likes of comedy rocker Tim Minchin, one of Britain's greatest stand-ups Stewart Lee, Fringe favourite Ed Byrne, Never Mind the Buzzcocks star Phill Jupitus, brilliant comedy actor Kevin Eldon (Jam,Nighty Night,Brass Eye) and hilarious ranter Robin Ince, just to name a few.


Tuesday 8th June
Knock2Bag: Notting Hill @ Tabernacle
The terrific Knock2Bag Comedy Club now has a barnstorming night in Notting Hill's iconic Tabernacle building. A stunning venue with room for over 300 people seated round tables, this is a guaranteed gig for seeing quality comedy. Tonight's line-up includes master of the long joke Stewart Lee, Perrier winner Will Adamsdale, Edinburgh 'Best Newcomer' 2007 Tom Basden, bonkers roadside caff owner Brian Gittins and Leicester Comedian of the Year 2009 Seann Walsh.


Wednesday 9th June
Pork and Pickle Club @ Albert and Pearl

The Pork and Pickle Pie comedy club returns this week at its new home, the Albert and Pearl pub on Upper Street. For only a fiver, you get to see comedy stylings from the likes of improvisational maestro Phil Kay and the enjoyably experimental Lee Kern, plus a free slice of pork pie. In fancy-pants Islington, deals don't come much better than this!
