Zinger Of The Week: Spymonkey's Cooped, Leicester Square Theatre
From their origins as street performers, Spymonkey's clowning quartet have produced high-profile globe-trotting shows, bursting with laughs, energy and ideas. This week they bring back their show Cooped, one of their first major creations.
Directed by One Man Two Guvnors's Cal McCrystal, the plot revolves around secretary Laura Du Lay assuming up a new position in deepest, darkest Northumberlandhamptonshire. Who is her mysterious boss? What is that manservant up to? And just where the blazes is Northumberlandhamptonshire? See below for a taster of the action.
18-23 March. Leicester Square Theatre, WC2H 7BX. £18-22. 7:30pm

Boom & Bang Circus
Despite its casino setting, Boom & Bang Circus is no gamble. Co-producers Bioux Boom and fiery burlesquer Kitty Bang Bang were part of the Boom Boom Club which put on spectacles from the Royal Albert Hall to the Old Vic Tunnels via the Cafe de Paris. Their latest extravaganza has a revolving all-killer-no-filler cast featuring the cream of the London scene.
21-22 March. Matcham Room, London Hippodrome, London, WC2H 7JH. 10.30pm.

The Double R Club

21 March. Bethnal Green Working Men's Club, London, E2. £10. More details and tickets

And, finally, a sample of Spymonkey's Cooped sees Forbes Murdston (Toby Park) and his new secretary Laura Du Lay (Petra Massey) coming to grips with each other.
