Leicester Square Theatre

The endearingly – if often ascerbically – eccentric German comic returns with a new show in which he promises to offer ‘an unbiased look at climate change’. Word from the tour suggests that this is not really what the show’s about and he was probably just having some fun with the pun, but word also suggests another charmingly spiky hour of German-crafted oddity.

Amy Gledhill’s second solo show won the main comedy award at the 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. As such this brief initial Soho Theatre stint for her widely praised set revolving around questions of body image is pretty damn sold out, though you might get lucky with a return. Otherwise remember the name as she’s sure to be back for a longer run soon (and has a date at Leicester Square Theatre in November).

The West End's premier piss artists are taking up residence in Leicester Square Theatre this Christmas, with a musical romp through Dickens' timeless story A Christmas Carol. The casts of Sh!t-faced Shakespeare and Sh!t-faced Showtime will team up to perform a musical tale of Scrooge's festive redemption, with their signature twist: one cast member is genuinely drunk. In true improv tradition, each show is different, and the performers will go along with whatever bonkers plot twists their drunken costar dreams up.
