And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…

I Am Not Myself These Days | Stratford Circus Arts Centre | 18-19 Feb (pictured)
Tom Stuart performs this this brilliant one man show himself, having adapted the story from Josh Kilmer-Purcell’s book of the same name: a tragicomic memoir of the writer’s life in New York, where he worked as an ad agency art director by day and a drag queen by night, all while carrying on a relationship with a crack addict. The show achieved much acclaim in Edinburgh last summer, not least from us. Only on for two dates in Feb, but it returns to London in March. See this page here for more info about the Stratford previews and this link here for info about the Shoreditch Town Hall shows.

Sarah Kendall et al | Bush Theatre | 18 Feb
You may remember that yesterday I selected Adam Buxton from that PBJ Management line up at the Bush Theatre. Here is my second choice from that line up, and it’s a real goodie. Not only do you get the most excellent Sarah Kendall, you also get the incredible Sofie Hagen, the fabulous Jen Brister, and the delightful Mae Martin. If I were playing a game of Fantasy Comedy Line-Up (I presume that doesn’t actually exist), there’s a fair chance this lot would be exactly who I would pick. Info and tickets from here.

Cosmic Jives | The Albany | 18-20 Feb
And yes, because it really still is half term (does it feel as though it’s been going on for months?) here is another show to alleviate the fractiousness of the younger element. This is for older children and teens (the age recommendation is 9+) and is the premiere of a new play from Rebecca Manley, all about girls, science, how girls are discouraged from pursuing science, astrophysics, the Matilda effect and rubber chickens. Sounds like a great show for anyone, but especially aspiring scientists. See the venue website here for info and to book.
