Every Monday, our editors bring you their personal highlights of the week ahead. Emma McAlpine selects her top three comedy nights.
Monday 7th-Saturday 19th February
Kevin Eldon: Titting About @ Soho Theatre
Cult comedy favourite and Brass Eye star Kevin Eldon brings his debut solo show, a smash hit at last year's Edinburgh Fringe, to the Soho Theatre. A gifted actor and comedy chameleon of sorts, Eldon packs it all into this show: characters, songs, parodies, poetry and stand-up. Imagine him as a moreish bag of comedy allsorts if you will. Impressive stuff.
Wednesday 9th-Sunday 13th February
Sandra Bernhard @ Leicester Square Theatre
Outspoken American (and former squeeze of Madonna), Sandra Bernhard has been combining comedy and rock 'n' roll for 25 years, winning over audiences with her acidic celebrity put-downs, satirical humour and sultry songs.Expect some sharp one-liners (e.g."My father was a proctologist and my mother was an abstract artist, so that's how I view the world"), darkly comic monologues and songs from her latest album, Whatever It Takes
Saturday 12th February
Mike Wilmot and Simon Evans @ Blackheath Halls
Acclaimed Canadian comic Mike Wilmot and super-dry British wit Simon Evans present their hour-long 2010 Edinburgh shows at Blackheath Halls. A fantastic double bill - both of these headliners are renowned on the ciircuit for their brilliantly sharp sense of humour.
