What is it? Chaotic, upsetting, hilarious US comic Patti Harrison return with a messy-even-by-her-standards new show that involves roping comedian guests and audience members into reading weird scripts and other oddities.
Where is it? Soho Theatre.
August is here and the Edinburgh Fringe casts a long, obliterating shadow: virtually every gigging comic in the country has headed to Scotland and there is, frankly, not a lot going on in London this month.
But there are a handful of fun things nontheless, from the chance to catch James Acaster’s new work-in-progress to the opportunity to catch Patti Harrison’s insane sounding new show before its belated move to the Fringe.
It’s also worth saying: watch this space. At the moment we have no idea who the buzzy new comics will be at this year’s Fringe, but we will in a couple of weeks and the odds are some of them will have last minute London dates locked in for the last week of August.
There are far, far too many one-off, multi-performer comedy nights in London for us to compile a single coherent page with our favouites on, which is entirely to London’s credit. So do check individual bills of comedy clubs online for that sort of thing. But if you’re looking for an individual comedian with a full headline show then this page is here to compile the Time Out editorial team’s top choices, often with our reviews from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
