Every Monday, our editors bring you their personal highlights of the week ahead. Emma McAlpine selects her top three comedy nights.
Monday 7th March
Not Now, Bernard @ Old Red Lion Theatre
This sounds AWESOME. Old Red Lion have launched a new comedy night, inviting sketch groups, improv troupes, musicians, stand-ups and more to reinvent their favourite children's book or story. Acts can use whatever means they like to create their own version of their well-loved tales, from sketches to songs, silent comedy and Powerpoint presentations. Tonight's guests include hot new double act Max & Ivan, comedy rap duo Sanity Valve and improv group The Inflatables.
Thursday 10th-Saturday 12th March
Golden Lizard @ Soho Theatre
A delightfully bonkers action-adventure story, loosely based on a mission to find a missing library book called The Golden Lizard. Award-winning comics Henry Paker and Mike Wozniak play multiple characters in the story (essentially a series of sketches) from the book's author, the enigmatic scientist Floyd Vernon, to Roy, a librarian trainee with a fear of ladders and a talent for alphabetising. Don't try to get your head round the confusing plot, just sit back and enjoy the surreal flights of fancy and hilarious script.
Friday 11th March
Whirlygiggles Cinema @Horse Hospital
Founded a year ago, Whirlygig Cinema is a showcase for up-and-coming filmmaking talent. This comedy edition (the aptly named Whirlygiggles) will include a range of sketches, mockumentaries and animations, all looking at the different ways to approach humour through film.
