The Gentlemen of Leisure

Lit-loving sketch comedy

Turns out that this show is less about the Death of the Novel and more about why it’s still breathing. It may be an irreverent look at literature but you get the impression that these guys have a genuine love of books. There’s an introduction to Don Quixote, cringeworthy rappers What the Dickens and a rubbish guide to writing a novel.

The Caves, 556 5375, until 28 Aug, 3.20pm, £7–£8 (£6–£7).
