The Revenge of Sherlock Holmes

This new production from Morphic Graffitti is set to bring Sherlock to life in a “music hall musical of elementary magnificence” with a wholly new mystery for the crack sleuth to get to the bottom of.

It promises “more Victoriana than even Prince Albert could handle,” but as well as all the era-specific garb, detail and adventure puzzle-solving, there will be a load of comedy, magical illusions and even puppets. So not exactly Sherlock as Conan Doyle imagined him, but then neither was Robert Downey Jr. 

Until May 10, Wed-Sat, 7.30pm (Sat matinee 3pm)
Sun, 2pm & 6pm, £20

Daniel Simonsen

Angel Comedy Festival

The world’s funniest Norwegian Daniel Simonsen is one of the well-funny funnymen at this week-long orgy of laughs, gags and split sides. We say the funniest Norwegian, but that’s mainly because he says he is, and he is indeed very funny. Easiest if you find out for yourself. Also funny is Irish hip-hop improv-er Abandoman, Canadian Tony Law, and Welshman Matt Rees. Best of all, the five nights are free!
