Every Monday, our editors bring you their personal highlights of the week ahead. Emma McAlpine selects her top three comedy nights.
Monday 13th December
The Horne Section Christmas Bash @ The Union Chapel
Hit musical comedy show The Horne Section is putting on an awesome Christmas bash with some suitably special comedians tonight, including comedy poet (and Alan Partridge's new sidekick) Tim Key, twisted pop duo Frisky and Mannish, Edinburgh award winner Tom Basden, drunken children's entertainer Jeremy Lion, skilled horn blowers Oomprah Brass and half man, half six-foot balloon - Bruce Airhead.
Tuesday 14th December
Tim Minchin Orchestra Tour @ O2 Arena
Live comedy doesn't work nearly so well in cavernous venues like the O2, but for this particular gig, a large performance space is essential (and if anyone can get the whole of the O2 rocking, it's the Minch). Performing with the 55-piece Heritage Orchestra, conducted by the brilliant Jules Buckley, comedy's very own rock star Tim Minchin brings his orchestran tour to London for a very special one-night only gig.
Wednesday 15th December
Laughing Boy Christmas Special @ The Driver
Topping the bill at the Laughing Boy Christmas party tonight is comedy hip hop duo Abandoman, with their unqiue blend of sharp rhymes and quick-witted improv skills. Support comes from acerbic female stand up Zoe Lyons and 2010 Edinburgh hit Nick Helm. Chandelier for Grandma!
