Top 5 comedy gigs of the week + Doug Stanhope competition

Hello all,

And here are this week's top 5 London is Funny recommendations:

1.Teenage Cancer Comedy Fundraiser
Tonight's show at the Royal Albert Hall features Greg Davies, Angelos, Jason Manford, John Bishop, Seann Walsh and MC James Corden. Monday.


2.Fat Tuesday
A tiny club above a pub in Islington, is a reliable place for good comedy and this Tuesday's show is particularly strong – Canadian filthbag Mike Wilmot, former BBC6 DJ and Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Jon Richardson, the superb Holly Walsh, Matt Crosby from sketch group Pappy's and resident upbeat MC Tiernan Douieb. Tuesday


3.Abandoman at Soho Theatre
This week and next you can see the full-length show from Abandoman – one of the sensations of the comedy circuit in the past few years. It's an improvised hip-hop comedy show inspired by audience suggestions, and it's an absolute riot. Abandoman are talented charmers Rob Broderick and James Fox. Thursday-Saturday


4.Amused Moose Soho
This long-running club this week welcomes one of the best in the business, social commentator Paul Sinha; brilliant rising star Josh Widdicombe; top Glaswegian stand-up Stephen Carlin and fast-paced youngster Rob Beckett. Saturday


5.Micky Flanagan at Hammersmith Apollo
There are still tickets left for Micky Flanagan's brilliant show the Out Out Tour at the Apollo. This is a show absolutely definitely worth seeing, whether mainstream is more your thing or whether you consider yourself more of an alternative comedy fan. Friday-Saturday

All these listings and booking links can be found in London is Funny's listings section, www.londonisfunny.com/listings, as well as a competition to win tickets to see brilliant US comic Doug Stanhope! Get involved ...
