Well this week was the first non Christmas or holiday’esk show…..and as we dusted off the record box, we made efforts to avoid any Christmas hit lying around.
My Comedy Pick for this week
Stephen Merchant ‘ ‘Work in Progress’ show
13th ‘ 14th January 2011
Join Stephen Merchant, the award winning co-creator of ‘The Office’ and ‘Extras’, as he tries out some brand new material for a forthcoming stand-up show.
Jerry Sadowitz, at the Leicester Square Theatre
14th ‘ 15th January 2011
Jerry Sadowitz is the brilliantly foul-mouthed comic whose act would even make Denis Leary blush. And he doesn’t get anywhere near enough credit for his top-notch magic either ‘ he’s like a Satan-ised version of Paul Daniels, with jokes.
Paul Merton and Josie Lawrence, at the Comedy Store
16th January 2011
TV’s Paul Merton will be joining Josie Lawrence at the Comedy Store Players for a night of comedy improvisation. Other comedians on the bill include Neil Mullarkey, Lee Simpson, Richard Vranch and Steve Edis.
