Bruce Dessau's Daily Choice

Thursday:
Dutch Elm Conservatoire

A showcase for this sketch quintet who are a refreshing change from umpteen generic ensembles trying to become the next Python/League of Gentlemen. Their absurdist ideas, poking fun at everything from organised religion to archaeology, are always inventive if sometimes running out of steam before the punchline. Not quite there, but definitely heading in the right direction.

Pleasance Theatre, 7.30pm, £7.50, concs £6.50. Until Sat 6 Nov.
