Sara Pascoe
If there is a crisis on the live circuit as I've heard, nobody has told Knock2bag. Their various clubs around the capital have been doing the business for ten years and last night's show in their Shoreditch outpost was absolutely rammed. And I’m not just talking about the audience. With ten acts on the bill (maybe even more, I lost count) the dressing room was probably standing room only too.
London’s weekend comedy festival ARGComFest (Actually Rather Good Comedy Festival) is set to return for its 6th year. The two-day extravaganza will feature 60 comedians performing at Shoreditch Town Hall on July 1 & 2.
The festival is firmly established as the place where the finishing touches are put on soon-to-be award-winning shows heading up to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
The Manchester International Festival has announced its 2017 programme today. Among the live events the Machynlleth Comedy Festival will be coming to the northern city for the first time.
In a programme produced by Manchester International Festival in association with Machynlleth Comedy Festival a number of comedians including Sara Pascoe, Mark Watson and tony Law will be playing intimate gigs in the city over the weekend of July 7 - 9.
Sara Pascoe is to adapt Jane Austen's classic novel Pride and Prejudice for the Nottingham Playhouse.
The new production, part of Giles Croft's final season as artistic director, will include music by singer Emmy the Great and will open on 19 September with previews from 15 September.
Filming has started on the third series on the BBC satire about the BBC, W1A.
Earlier today Sara Pascoe posted a picture of herself on Instagram having her hair done with the comment "I love being Coco Lomax" – a reference to the character she plays who works as a 'trending analyst' for ridiculous brand consultant agency Perfect Curve.
The US Election was only last week and it already feels as if everything has been said about an event that has turned the world upside down. Or, more importantly in this case, that every joke has been made about it. But you can always rely on Frankie Boyle to nudge the taboo barrier a little further, which he does magnificently at the end of this topical show, painting a portrait of a post-Trump apocalypse that makes Bosch’s pictures of hell seem positively benign.
Sara Pascoe has added a string of extra dates to her acclaimed Animal tour. There will now be 21 additional shows, beginning at The North Wall in Lincoln on the 10th March 2017 and concluding at The Old Rep in Birmingham on the 29th April 2017. Pascoe plays the Duchess Theatre in London on April 24.
Update 14/11: OK, forget what I said earlier, it went up late but it's there now. Link here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b083s663
Frankie Boyle is to give his verdict on the US Elections on the BBC in November.
