CULTURE CLUB Arts & Culture THE MUST-SEE EVENTS AROUND CAMBRIDGE THIS MONTH

COMEDY HITS FUNNY PEOPLE

19 Jan

Picture this: it’s a freezing-cold January evening, the decorations have been taken down for another year, the living room feels bare, your Christmas credit-card bills have come in, and the days seem to be shorter than ever. A recipe for the winter blues if ever there was one, but luckily for you we have the perfect antidote – an evening spent in the company of some of the UK’s best comedians! This month, the Corn Exchange will hand the mic to some industry giants. On 19 January, Jason Manford is back with Like Me , guaranteeing to please with cheeky wit and spot-on observational humour, while on 28 January, Katherine Ryan takes to the stage with her new live show, Missus , where she’ll deliver her hilarious, and sometimes savage, take on life and love. If you’re a fan of singalongs and uncanny celebrity impersonations, A Night of Songs & Laughter with Rob Brydon and his fabulous eight-piece band on 25 January could be just what the doctor ordered, or over at the Junction, Stephen K Amos offers his pithy perspective on 21st-century life in Before and Laughter on 19 January. Picking up the comedy baton on 20 January is Arabella Weir, with her show Does My Mum Loom Big in This? , while Lucy Porter rounds off a rip-roaring week of jokes with a three-finger salute to everything the Brownies couldn’t teach her in Be Prepared, on 21 January. Finally, Ahir Shah brings Dress – a show full of philosophical musings and candid humour –to the venue on 29 January. BANISH THE WINTER BLUES WITH SOME HEART-WARMING HILARITY

LAUGH IT UP The city has plenty to choose from when it comes to tickling your funny bone, including Stephen K Amos (above), Katherine Ryan (left) and Ahir Shah (below)
