'So far this run I have played four different types of pigeon, a North Korean chicken farmer and Ronald McDonald,' writes Showstopper!'s Sarah-Louise Young...

Week two of our ten-week run and we're getting into the swing of things. The preview week is over, we've had press night; or rather press day - unusually for the West End, we did a matinee and an evening show on opening day and invited reviewers to see both performances, just to show that Showstopper really is different every show.  

The West End will welcome a record number of new British musicals this autumn, thanks to the world's first major season for an improvised musical.

Amused Moose Piccadilly will welcome top comedy in the swishest venue in town at Soho's Sanctum Hotel on Friday 6 February 2015, featuring Katherine Ryan (Mock The Week, Live at the Apollo), Pippa Evans (Showstopper star), Markus Birdman (Amused Moose Comedy Award finalist), and Ian Smith (BBC2 Popatron).

Chase away the Monday blues with an 'alf and a larf! at The Comedy Store on Monday 12th May. HemiHelp, the national charity for hemiplegia, will be hosting an evening of fun and laughter and the star guest is none other than the amazing Al Murray. As one of the UK's best-loved and most successful comics, Murray is renowned for his alter-ego, the Pub Landlord. The brilliant Paddy Lennox will be compering the evening and the line-up will also boast other fantastic names from the world of comedy including Jonny Pelham and Pippa Evans (as Loretta Maine).

Canal Cafe Theatre are delighted to announce that they have appointed Sandra Thompson-Quartey as the new Producer and General Manager.
