Stuart Laws | Tue 21 May | The Bread Shed | 7.30pm | £5/3
The man behind Turtle Canyon Comedy and thusly tonnes of fantastic sketches from some of your favourite comedians, Stuart Laws is also a fantastic stand-up in his own right. Bringing a weird, neurotic yet wild energy all wrapped in an ill-fitting gillet, Laws’ tight writing and unique style mark him out as one to watch.

Jon Ronson | Wed 22 May | Albert Hall | 7pm | £25
Not quite a comedian, and not quite a comedic subject matter but Ronson makes it in to this week’s picks on being a naturally engaging storyteller with a knack for a good gag. Here he discusses his latest podcasts set in the world of porn and in particular his friendship with the late August Ames. Only a few seats left.

SOS | Fri 24 May | 3 Minute Theatre | 7.30pm | £6
Randolph Tempest’s ‘Superstars on Stage’ has its final outing on Friday night and the Manchester comedy scene will be much poorer thereafter. Bringing bizarre characters to terrifying life this amped up alternative night has been entertaining folk for nearly ten years and this final bow looks set to be a huge night of prizes, chat and loads of oddball comics.
