Hello comedy fans!

Good weekend? I should hope so too. If you fancy some comedy this week, here are the top 5 picks, courtesy of London comedy guide LondonisFunny.com's ...


Monday Club – the Tattershall Castle (a boat on the Thames Embankment)
A birthday special! The Monday Club is a cracking club and on Monday it turns 16. On the bill are grizzly Canadian Tom Stade, brilliantly condescending Frenchman Marcel Lucont, Edinburgh Newcomer Award winner Daniel Simonsen, Stephen Grant, Jarred Christmas MC and more tbc.

Brendon Burns: Home Stretch Baby – Soho Theatre
Edinburgh Comedy Award winner 2007 and world-renowned cult comic Brendon Burns returns to Soho Theatre with a brand new show of no holds barred material laced with explosive punchlines. (Nov 12-17)

Laugh Out London – The Old Queen's Head (Angel pub)
A belting line-up of alternative comedians courtesy of Laugh Out London, with satire behemoth Andy Zaltzman, multimedia mentalist David Trent, deadpan prop man Ben Target, unorthodox sketch duo Two Episodes of Mash and rising star Matt Rees. (Tuesday)

Tim Key: Masterslut – The Arts Theatre (Covent Garden)
2009 Edinburgh Comedy Award winner Tim Key managed to follow up that winning show with another brilliant one – Masterslut is another unique cabaret of poetry, video, stunts ... and a bath. (Nov 15-24)

Amused Moose Soho – Moonlighting nightclub (Soho)
This long-established club tonight welcomes Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Nick Helm, rising star Naz Osmanoglu, sharp-witted Irishman Irish Neil Delamere, Rhys James and MC Mark Dolan. (Saturday)
