Soho theatre
South African Pieter-Dirk Uys has become a regular visitor to the UK over the years, but he usually comes in disguise. If he isn't dressed as his monstrous creation Evita Bezuidenhout he is doing a pin-sharp impersonation of Desmond Tutu or another famous political figure. This time round, in An Echo Of A Noise, it is a "And this is me..." performance, with Uys on his own in a t-shirt and impish grin telling his life story, which in effect is the story of South Africa since the 1940s.
Soho Theatre has expanded their digital service. They are now streaming on demand comedy content including Dane Baptiste, Mae Martin, Nish Kumar, Panti Bliss, Jessie Cave and Joel Dommett.
Italian comedian Francesco De Carlo asks what do you discover when you decide to leave the safety of your sofa in Italy to become a foreigner in the UK, just as the UK decides to leave Europe? And he should know the answer because he did just that and he tells us how he got on in his latest show Comfort Zone. As heard on ‘Welcome to Wherever You Are’ (BBC Radio 4) and seen on ‘Paul Hollywood’s Big Continental Road Trip’ (BBC2) and ‘Unspun With Matt Forde’ (Dave)
The Soho Theatre is staging a stellar night of entertainment in support of their work with young people and emerging artists.
On March 15 the whole building is being commandeered for a special Alternative Gala Party.
It's been a funny old year for sketch group with attitude Gein's Family Giftshop. The trio (plus non-performing writer Kiri Pritchard McLean) lost a member just before Edinburgh and had to do some quick thinking to keep the show on the road. The result, which has now come to London, seems to work pretty well.

This was interesting. I’ve never been to a performance in a theatre that felt so much like a cross between a rock gig by your favourite band and a victory lap of honour. Having gathered various stage prizes Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s play was then adapted for BBC3 and will no doubt go on to collect TV awards by the bucketload in the next few months.
Josie Long finishes her run at the Soho Theatre on October 15. Tickets here. She performs the show in New York from November 19. Keep an eye out for more UK dates here. She is at the Duchess Theatre on March 20. Tickets here.
Todd Barry sets out his sardonic stall with his own offstage intro. He explains that he wanted Jimmy Carr to open for him but Carr wanted £450,000. Others also wanted big money. The Smiths wanted four tickets on the guest list.
US comic Ron Funches is over in the UK for a short run. Maybe he doesn't have much time to tour because back in America he is increasingly in demand onscreen. He is a regular on NBC’s Undateable and appeared on The Conan O’Brien Show and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, while you may have heard his voice on Bojack Horseman, Bob’s Burgers and Home. He also has a voiceover in the upcoming Dreamworks animated film Trolls. Ron Funches is at Soho Theatre until June 18.
