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

COMEDY: Whirledart Cinema Comedy Night w/ David Trent + Stuart Laws | Whirled Cinema, Lougborough Junction | 15 Jul
“Sincere and skilled” technological comic David Trent and the “refreshingly funny” Stuart Laws each take a spin at manning the Whirledart Cinema stage, presenting a ‘his & his’ selection of Ed-Fringe previews. Details and tickets here.

THEATRE: Fat Man | Ovalhouse | 15-19 Jul (pictured)
This wry story of love, loss, and the risks of grieving-and-eating, a one-man play written and acted by Martin Bonger, posits ancient Greek hero Orpheus as a ‘stand-up for the gods’. Details and tickets here.

THEATRE: This Was A Man | Finborough Theatre | 15 Jul – 2 Aug
Placing a magnifying glass on an ailing marriage between painter Edward Churt and his cheating wife, Noel Coward’s somewhat ‘lost’ play gets a belated pro premiere under the directorship of actress Belinda Lang. It was written in 1925, and immediately banned for its vivid and irreverent portrait of infidelity. Details and tickets here.
