Friday December 16

LIVE IN LONDON: Michelle Wolf - a regular contributor  for Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Trevor Noah - brings her Edinburgh Comedy Award-nominated debut show So Brave to the Soho Theatre for a two-week run, with its spiky content concealed behind some preppy charm. Expect Trump jokes.
