TODAY’S COMEDY CHOICES

Laurence Clark – Inspired, Dugdale Arts Centre, 20 Sep
One time ThreeWeeks cover star (though you’ll need a good memory!) Laurence Clark, who has cerebral palsy, isn’t asking a lot, only that no one call him “inspirational” for doing ordinary things. In this show, commissioned by the London 2012 Festival and highly rated at last year’s Fringe, he light-heartedly explains why. Details and tickets here.

Tasty Combo – The A-Z Of Sketch, Etcetera Theatre, 20 Sep
Gracing the Camden Etcetera in the midst of a ‘Mini-London Sort Of Tour’, five-man Tasty Combo match a sharp, clever sketch to each letter of the alphabet. Details and tickets here.
