It's previewtastic at the Museum still as we welcome Edinburgh legend Arthur Smith with a sneaky peek at his last ever Fringe show. Medico returns with hot reviews from the Brighton Fringe, 'One to Watch' Chelsea Birkby makes her Museum debut, Cara Connors is over from the USA while ace sketch duo Britney share a double bill with Jo Griffin. Last but not least the gloriously shallow Leo Reich goes on sale.
Meanwhile down at Leicester Square Theatre the fabulous Maisie Adam is Buzzed.
Italian NHS intensive care doctor and award-winning comedian (yes, she really is both), Dr Stefania Licari offers a hysterical and moving exploration of the medical world, immigration and what it means to become British.
Following sell-out shows and critical acclaim at the Brighton Fringe, MEDICO is returning to the Museum of Comedy for three nights only.
A perpetual late bloomer, the hour explores their second adolescence and sexual awakening, post-divorce “rumspringa,” and occasionally feral existence as a queer, millennial comedian chasing her dreams in Los Angeles while trying to make up for lost time. It’s messy and vulnerable, and also very, very funny.
ARTHUR SMITH MY 75 YEARS AT THE
EDINBURGH FRINGE (PREVIEW) 14 July
Arthur Smith’s love letter to the playground of the imagination that is the Edinburgh Fringe on its 75th birthday. Recalling some of the triumphs, disasters, love affairs and arrests of his many Augusts in Auld Reekie. This is Arthur's last-ever Edinburgh show so you had better be there.
LEO REICH LITERALLY WHO CARES?!
(WORK IN PROGRESS) 29 July
At long last, self-diagnosed important young genius Leo Reich is ready to share some of his notoriously perfect opinions with the community at large. Join this ‘gloriously shallow’ (Chortle) hunk for an hour of comedy that is ‘not just funny, but rich with a sense of self-awareness’ (Scotsman). Or don’t! Who cares!

MAISIE ADAM BUZZED 27 & 28 October
Fresh from Live at The Apollo, Mock The Week, and The Last Leg, Best Newcomer nominee Maisie Adam is back with a brand new show.
Rammed with witty observations, high-octane energy and some right good jokes. This high-energy show promises to be better than whatever else you had planned (unless you had plans to go dancing with Cher).
