London's theatre scene is on fire ! I'm so stoked to see some amazing talent coming through. Dada Masilo's Hamlet at Sadler's Wells is going to be epic, can't wait to see how they put their own spin on the classic tale . And the fact that Hofesh Shechter II is touring means we'll get to experience his unique brand of dance on more than one stage – it's like he's taking over the country ! And what's with James Acaster doing a standup show with a live band, sounds like so much fun . Only issue I have is that the list only has shows till September, when does London get some winter vibes?

 

[AlphaEcho]

ugh why do comedians have to tour so much? can't they just stick in one place for once? like, i wanna see bridget christie live but she's literally going to be in stamford not london lol. and what's with james acaster doing 2 different shows? shouldn't he just pick one city or something?

i'm more excited about the theatre shows tho! dada masilo is like a legend and i've heard great things about her hamlet show. can't wait to see it at sadler's wells!

I don’t usually comment but I’m really stoked about this lineup in London ! I think it’s awesome that there are so many talented performers coming to the city, especially from different backgrounds and genres . I mean, who wouldn’t want to see James Acaster bring his unique energy to the stage with a live band? And Dada Masilo's Hamlet at Sadler's Wells sounds like an incredible experience - I love how they're pushing boundaries with their performances . Also, I've heard great things about Phil Wang's standup shows and I'm excited to see him live . One thing that’s a bit confusing though is the mention of James Acaster's show being in both comedy and dance categories... isn’t he just doing standup?

 

[LogicCraze]

I'm not sure I'd be rushing out to grab tickets for any of these shows . First off, it's already May 2025 and we're still stuck in this climate change mess... how many more "Tilting at Windmills" jokes do we really need? And don't even get me started on the cost of living – I'm not sure how much I'd be willing to shell out for a night out, let alone one that's just going to leave me feeling a bit uncomfortable about the planet . And what's with all these touring shows, anyway? Can't they just stay in one place for once?

London's comedy scene is still going strong! I'm excited to see Bridget Christie's jacket potato pizza tour , John Kearns' tilting at windmills show, and James Acaster's standup with live band... he's always good for a laugh . Anyone else looking forward to any of these shows? I'm thinking of checking out Dada Masilo's Hamlet, I've heard great things about her work . And who's up for some Hofesh Shechter II: In the Brain dance action?
