Time Out says

This neon-lit Soho venue is a megastore for the best comedy and fringe shows in town

Its cool blue neon lights, front-of-house café and occasional late-night shows may blend it into the Soho landscape, but since taking up residence on Dean Street in 2000 Soho Theatre has made quite a name for itself.

Across three studio spaces, it puts on an eclectic line-up of work from some of the biggest names in comedy, spoken word, and cabaret, and hosts at least six different shows a night. If ever there were a place in London to get a year-round taste of the Edinburgh Fringe it's here, with its eclectic programming, late shows and ever-buzzing bar. Just don't expect to find deep-fried haggis on the menu - teas, coffees, and wine are the order of the day at Soho Theatre's chic cafe/bar, which is reliably packed out after 6pm.

It has to be said that Soho excels in almost every area apart from the production of good in-house theatre shows, something it's consistently struggled with (though it has many fine co-productions). But this barely impacts on anybody's good time, and it's hard to hold it against the most fun theatre in central London.

What’s on

Catherine Bohart: Again, with Feelings

  • Stand-up

The popular Irish stand-up and podcast host returns with a new show in which she talks about her life post-breakup and the general indignities the world heaps upon single women in contemporary society in what she’s billing as a ‘twisted second coming of age saga’.

Boys on the Verge of Tears

  • Drama

Sam Grabiner’s play is the latest recipient of the prestigious Verity Bargate Award – impressive, but what really seals the idea that it’s something special is that big-name director James Macdonald – best known for his work with Caryl Churchill, Annie Baker and Sarah Kane has jumped on board. This is Grabiner’s debut, but it won’t be long until we get to see if he lives up to the hype. ‘Boys on the Verge of Tears’ is rather audaciously set entirely in a men’s toliets, a ‘bold, kaleidoscopic tale of violence and vulnerability’ that features five actors in over 50 roles.
