Mopnday-Saturday 4th June
New Art Club: Big Bag of Boom @ Soho Theatre

New Art Club is back with its latest piece of genre defining stand-up dance, as Tom Roden and Pete Shenton, one of the most unique acts in comedy, bring together the most explosive moments from a decade of award-winning shows. Relive some classic moments including inappropriate country dancing to Heaven 17, a wonderfully twisted ensemble game of peekaboo and the hilarious 'Various Monsters'.

Friday 29th May
Stewart Lee's Complete Vegetable Stew @ Royal Festival Hall

Almost 4 hours of pure unadulterated Stewart Lee? Erm, yes please. Recently Lee completed a West End run of his latest show Vegetable Stew, performing a random three of a possible six 30-minute sets each evening, in preparation for his second series of Comedy Vehicle (BBC2). Tonight he performs all six sections for the very last time in a stand-up marathon lasting 3 hours and 45 minutes. Tasty.

Saturday 28th May
Stand-up movies presents Dr Strangelove @ Prince Charles Cinema

An evening of live stand up comedy and a classic comedy movie at independent cinema, The Prince Charles. Tonight's film is the classic Stanley Kubrick and Peter Sellers collaboration Dr Strangelove. With stand-up from surreal oddball Gareth Morinan and controversial stand-up Sanderson Jones.
