Comedy picks of the week ft. Gary Delaney, Danny Pensive and Alan Partridge

Gary Delaney | The Comedy Store | Tue 15 Aug | 7.30pm | £5/3
XS Malarkey continue to enjoy their summer holidays at The Comedy Store with another of their favourites in Gary Delaney. Master of the one liner, Delaney is a regular on Mock The Week and always a solid performer with a ludicrous amount of gags about almost everything. He’ll be joined by regular XS host Toby Hadoke who introduces support from The Story Beast, Jonny Clare and Neil Harris. Still at XS’s low price but in slightly grander comedy surroundings.

Danny Pensive | The Kings Arms | Fri 18 Aug | 7.30pm | £3
In this time of great division we need one voice to show us the way of right from wrong. That voice probably isn’t the North East twang of John Cooper’s be-duffelcoated creation but it’s as good a place as any to start. In new show ‘Life Coach’ he hopes to make people able to laugh more readily at life. Something we could all use a dose of.

AHA! I’m Alan Partridge | Gorilla | Sun 20 Aug | 12pm | £15
Celebrating arguably the greatest comedy character of the last 20 years Pilot Light TV Festival will be showing two series of I’m Alan Partridge back to back with a Q & A with writer Neil Gibbons and Michael himself Simon Greenall. An all day affair be sure to bring enough toblerone to make it through this epic day of Alan fandom.
