Suspiciously Cheap Comedy | New Adelphi Theatre | Mon 23 Oct | 7.30pm | £5
To see Gein’s Family Giftshop and Goose for the low low price of £5 is pretty much a steal. The former is a multi-award winning sketch group and the latter are just about to film a gameshow they created in Edinburgh for ITV. Throw into that mix headline act Sara Pascoe and something about that price tag is starting to look really wrong. Added to that is Edinburgh Comedy Award winner 2016 Richard Gadd and we’d be surprised if there are any tickets left by the time you’ve read this sentence. Get the while you can.

Harriet Dyer | Tribeca | Wed 25 Oct | 7pm | £2-6
Since the demise of the Manchester Comedy Festival nearly a decade ago the Women in Comedy Festival has become the city’s defacto comedy festival and with good cause. It brings some of the best performers from around the country for a two week period every year that just so happen to be female. Tonight’s hour long show is a little closer to home with Manchester based act Harriet Dyer who will bring her unique ‘Idea Pips’ to Tribeca in the Village for a midweek treat.
