Every Monday our editors bring you their personal highlights of the week ahead. Emma McAlpine selects her top three comedy nights.
Monday 25th-Saturday 30th October
Josie Long: Be Honourable at the Soho Theatre
Exuberant optimist Josie Longs presents Be Honourable! - a show about strangers, politics, complacency and breakfast, aiming to provoke people into changing the world. This was another of my favourite shows from the Edinburgh Fringe. You can't fail to get swept along with Josie's passionate and charmingly skewed outlook on life as she discusses her obsession with pictures of breakfast on the internet, why she would like to be adopted by Billy Bragg and Nye Bevan and how we can improve the world around us. Terrific stuff.
Tuesday 26th-Saturday 6th November
Stewart Lee: Vegetable Stew at Leicester Square Theatre
Following a tremendous sell-out season at the LST last year, top class stand-up Stewart Lee embarks on a mini-tour of brand new work in preparation for his 2011 TV series. Giant moths, David Cameron, the Bullingdon Club and Adrian Chiles have been just some of the recent subjects under Lee's comedic scrutiny.
Thursday 28th October
Robin Ince's Bad Book Club at artsdepot
Multi-award winning comedian Robin Ince returns with a new incarnation of the show that made him a cult hit on the London circuit. In Bad Book Club, Ince combines his twin passions of science and bad literature. Taking audiences through the writing spectrum, from Cliff Richard biographies, evolutionary biology and Dutch astrology books to Spiders from Mars and notes on how to pick up girls, he casts his comic wit on all sorts of ridiculous literature, at typical break-neck pace. Well, he's got a lot to get through.
