And the LDN-based events the ThisWeek team is tipping today are…

COMEDY: Bill Bailey Unplugged | Leicester Square Theatre | 8-16 Aug
The one, the only Bill Bailey gives a reminder of his weird excellence with this no-frills ‘work-in-progress’ show in which no bells, nor whistles, nor owls feature even lightly. Details and tickets here.

FILM/PHOTOGRAPHY: Stanley Kubrick – New Perspectives | WORK Gallery | 8 Aug – 27 Sep
Marking the publication of a book of essays of the same name, the free-entry ‘New Perspectives’ exhibit centres on filmmaking icon Stanley Kubrick’s eye-popping cinematic style, especially highlighting the research and incredible attention to detail involved in creating the iconic ‘filmic spaces’ in ‘The Shining’, ‘Full Metal Jacket’, and ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’. Details here.

THEATRE: Russell Kane – The Closure Of Craig Solly | Artsdepot | 8 Aug (pictured)
Usually sharp and silly comic Russell Kane comes over all dark in this pitch black one-man show, voicing violent gangland convict Craig Solly in a so-called ‘Closure Session’ designed to provide solace for the bereaved, with the audience acting as friends and family of Solly’s victims. Details and tickets here.
