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


Thursday 2nd-Wednesday 22nd December
Carl Einar-Hackner
@ The Roundhouse

Swedish megastar Carl-Einar Hackner brings his hugely popular slapstick magic show to The Roundhouse this December. Hackner plays the hapless clown with finesse, turning seemingly crap magic tricks into impressive routines aided by a clear aptitude for physical comedy. Wonderfully shambolic.

Friday 3rd December
Bush Hall Presents Milton Jones @ Bush Hall

One of London's best venues Bush Hall is once again playing host to some stellar comedy talent this month. Tonight's line-up features award-winning one-liner merchant Milton Jones., supported by superb actor and comedian Kevin Eldon (Big Train, Black Books and Alan Partridge), Fringe favoruite Richard Herring, the alternative Simon Munnery and top character act Colin Hoult. Phew!

Saturday 4th December
Saturday Night Fulchfest Christmas Special @ Bull and Gate

Mighty Boosh and Snuff Box star Rich Fulcher hosts this monthly irreverant comedy night at The Bull and Gate in Kentish Town, with a suitably brilliant bill in store for December. Tonight's Christmas special features one half of cult comedy duo Adam and Joe, Adam Buxton, plus Mr Kennedy from The Inbetweeners more commonly known as Waen Shepherd and Brett Domino, the man behind the iTunes hit Gillian McKeith song.
