Every Friday, our editors bring you their personal highlights of the week to come. Emma McAlpine selects her top three gigs.



Monday 6th June
Tim Key: work in progress
@ The Invisible Dot

The comedy week kicks off with 2009 Eddie Award winner Tim Key "stumbling about in his production company's office-cum-improvised venue doing a bit of new stuff, a bit of tired stuff and a bit of leaning against a speaker and drinking Kronenberg." An intimate space in Camden, the Invisible Dot is a great place to see brilliant, leftfield acts trying out new material, and tonight's show is a bargain £6. Snap up tickets while you can.

 

Tuesday 7th June
Feature Spot presents Miles Jupp @ 100 Club

One of the best comedy clubs in London, this month, you can catch the witty and eloquent Miles Jupp headlining, with some excellent support in the shape of Kevin Eldon (as seen in Brass Eye, Big Train, Nighty Night and Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle), smooth gagsmith Arnab Chanda, one third of top sketch troupe The Penny Dreadfuls' Humphrey Ker and rapper-turned-comedian Doc Brown.


Thursday 9th June - Saturday 11th June
Celia Paquola
@ Soho Theatre
 

Charming Aussie Celia Paquola presents her 2010 Edinburgh hit show Flying Solos. Through expert storytelling, self-deprecating anecdotes and a stint on the piano, she explains why going it alone and taking risks can sometimes be a good thing.
