Real TV and Therapy: This Week at the London Improv Comedy Club

We're so far into 2012 now it seems like it's nearly over. Time ticks away on your life as sure as eggs is eggy, so here's the choice: you can spend it inside crying at your laughable sense of self-worth, or you can get out into the free world, to a live comedy night where you can laugh at/with other homo sapiens.

I like using the words 'homo sapiens', it sounds a bit rude but it's also scientific. Students and nurses know about both those things, and they also get in TOTALLY FREE to our events in February (bring your IDs). Winner.

Tuesday 7th February
ARTHUR
and DO NOT ADJUST YOUR STAGE
Another team from the new short-form crowd in town Arthur provide entertainment in the form of crazy new games and scenes, reminiscent of "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" (classic). They'll do a selection of old and new games, some so new that you can't even imagine how new they are.

Really new.

And then those beauteous folk from Do Not Adjust Your Stage belt out an evening's worth of television, but they do it with live humans and a tame guitarist. They'll cover all the major TV genres: reality, documentary, soap... all the greats, but they'll create it all in front of your two eyes (one if you're a cyclops).

Tuesday 7th February
Time: Doors 7:45pm, Show 8pm - 10pm with interval.
Cost: £5 on the door, FREE to NHS/NUS cardholders.
Where: The Miller, 96 Snowsfields Road, London, SE1 3SS.


Wednesday 8th February

HAPPY PLACE:
with MARBLES
The soul-nurturing comedysplosion that is Happy Place is back for 2012.

Stand-up Luisa Omielan (★★★★★ - Three Weeks) will tickle your funny face with jokes.

Sketch duo Allnut & Simpson (‘Intelligently written… talented performers… one to watch’ - Chortle) will be bringing their unique brand of sketchertainment to help you feel better about yourself and the world.

Hosting duties will be handled by the lovely life coach Phil Kozak (Ryan Millar), author of the books 'That's not Unpossible', and 'Cut the Bullcrap!'. He'll be there helping folks work through any issues they may have. Such as deep-seated resentment, fear of success or general malaise.

Then, as always, the bottled lightning that is improv duo Marbles will be holding down the second half. Weaving jokes, characters and off-the-cuff observations into a one-of-kind improvised showtacular.

Wednesday 7th February
Time: Doors 7:45pm, Show 8pm - 10pm with interval.
Cost: £5 on the door, FREE to NUS/NHS card holders
Where: The Miller, 96 Snowsfields Road, London, SE1 3SS.
