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

COMEDY: Mae Martin – Funtimes w/ James Acaster | Camden Comedy Club | 20 Jan (pictured)
Canada’s ultra-sprightly Mae Martin workshops her latest ideas, with experimental entertainment also provided by deadpan “long-con gags”-maker James Acaster, the excellent (albeit now expired) Three Englishmen’s own Tom Hensby and sketch freaks Twins’ Annie McGrath. Details and tickets here.

THEATRE: Berenice | The Space | 20-25 Jan
Racine’s classic play about a love triangle torn apart by civil war is thrown forward into modernity, and remodelled as an essay on ‘the media’ vs celebrities’ right to privacy. Details and tickets here.

THEATRE: Diary Of A Nobody | King’s Head Theatre | 20 Jan – 14 Feb
Back for another crack at The King’s Head Theatre is Rough Haired Pointer’s popular adaptation of ‘Diary Of A Nobody’, a larger-than-life farce based on the “funniest book in the world” of the same name by Evelyn Waugh, which follows the pompous and hardworking Mr Charles Pooter. In Mary Franklin’s production, a cast of four actors takes on 45 parts, from ‘vulgar’ Gowing, to Borset The Butterman, to Sarah, ‘the worst maid in all of literature’. Details and tickets here.
