Hal Cruttenden, Stewart Francis and Tim Minchin - Editor's Choice, Comedy

21 April, 2011
by: Emma

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



Tuesday 26th April
Laugh
@ Ginglik

Cool West London venues are a rarity but Ginglik, a converted public loo, is a funky bar with a polished programme of comedy every other Tuesday. Tonight's line-up features Royal Variety Show star Hal Cruttenden, and the charming, devilish-humoured musical comedian, Carly Smallman.

Wednesday 27th April
Feature Spot @ 100 Club

Feature Spot have rounded up a bunch of top comedians for a night of mirth and mayhem.
Tonight's headliner is the internationally acclaimed stand-up comedian, accomplished writer and actor, Stewart Francis. Hosted by Holly Walsh, the night will also feature stand-up from the wonderfully surreal Paul Foot, brilliant shouty newcomer, Nick Helm, and a top secret special guest.

Thursday 28th-Friday 29th April
Tim Minchin Orchestra Tour @ Royal Albert Hall

A much prettier and smaller venue than the O2, Tim Minchin's brilliant orchestra tour now comes to the Royal Albert Hall. Featuring the 55-piece Heritage Orchestra, conducted by the brilliant Jules Buckley, this is comedy and rock as you've never seen it before. (Unless you attended last year... in which case you know it's well worth seeing again.)
