About this event
Simon Amstell is back with a brand-new stand-up show - funnier, truer, and more healing than anything ever before or after. I Love It Here is the latest creation from the internationally acclaimed comedian and filmmaker behind the Netflix stand-up special Set Free and the feature films Benjamin and Carnage . At a friend’s beach house just outside Los Angeles, Simon finally finds peace: he is in love, free, released from the need to perform. But when an invitation arrives from the man who first ignited his teenage desire, that fragile calm is thrown into chaos. What follows is a desperate, hilarious attempt at surrender, during a night of overwhelming stimulation - the raw material for this extraordinary new show. Presented by Show And Tell

If this is your kind of night, these are other ways in: a collection this venue belongs to, traditions it works in, and similar theatre still playing in London this week.
Traditions this room works in
Tags on the venue. Other London rooms carry the same lineage. Not a claim that this film invented the tradition.
Also playing this week
Same kind of night (theatre) in London. Spread across the week, not a ranking.
A different kind of night
Same city and close on taste. A different discipline, on purpose.
