Wednesday 31st August-Saturday 10th September
Neil Hamburger: Discounted Entertainer
@ Soho Theatre

America's brand of comedy marmite, Neil Hamburger has to be one of the most uncompromising and inventive comedans around. Constantly subverting comedy conventions and always performing kamikaze recklessness, here he brings his brand new show to the Soho Theatre direct from the Edinburgh Fringe.

Claudia O'Doherty:What is Soil Erosion? @ Soho Theatre

After her sell-out run last year with the kooky Monster of the Deep 3D, Australian comedienne Claudia O'Doherty returns to Soho Theatre with a brand new show. What is Soil Erosion? is the live version of the TV show no one will let Claudia make. The show answers questions such as 'what is soil erosion?' and contains lasers.

 

The Really Lovely Comedy Show @ Wilmington Arms

Held in the lovely intimate theatre venue, the Wilmington Arms, Really Lovely comedy tonight features Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Andrew Maxwell, Amused Moose finalist and incredibly tall man Luke Benson and Hackney Empire New Act of the year finalist Grainne Maguire.
