Towering: tall comedian Greg Davies
5 April 2012

Here are the biggest comedy gigs in the capital this weekend...

Greg Davies
At six foot eight inches, it is hard not to notice madcap clown Greg Davies whether in sketch group We Are Klang, on E4's The Inbetweeners or as a brilliant solo stand-up too. This is the last chance to enjoy his Edinburgh Comedy Award-nominated set made up of unashamedly childish tales about bizarre school nicknames, his eccentric dad and more. Toweringly funny.
Saturday July 2, Apollo, W1, 7pm, & 9pm (0844 579 1971,nimaxtheatres.com)

Boothby Graffoe
A rare chance to see one of comedy's most underrated heroes. The Spike Milliganesque Graffoe was tipped for greatness in the Nineties, fell off the radar, toured with The Bare Naked Ladies and is now back on quirky form again. Always unpredictable, which is part of the edgy fun. And a damn fine guitarist too.
Tomorrow, Bull & Gate, NW5 (07854 370351, thefixonline.com)

Paul Chowdhry
The sharp, outspoken stand-up has had a low live profile recently, due to numerous acting commitments, but he returns with a passionate, controversial show, partly inspired by a confrontation with a heckler which resulted in a physical attack. Who says comedy is an easy career option?
Tomorrow, Indigo2, SE10 (0844 856 0202, ticketmaster.co.uk)
