Here are the biggest comedy gigs in the capital this weekend...

Weekend Comedy

Adam Buxton, Isy Suttie, Andy Zaltzman
Richard Herring hosts a superb
line-up which includes motormouth satirist Andy Zaltzman and sublimely quirky Suttie. The latter does a great Amy Winehouse impression. Best of all is Adam Buxton, whose literal-minded version of Grace Jones's Pull Up to The Bumper is one of the most brilliantly puerile routines you'll ever see.
Tonight, Bush Hall, W12 (08444 771 000, ticketweb.co.uk)

Bo Burnham
America's 20-year-old YouTube sensation comes to the capital with an extended version of his award-winning Edinburgh show. A frighteningly precocious purveyor of witty wordplay, philosophical puns and cannily crafted songs.
Tomorrow, Shepherd's Bush Empire, W12 (0844 844 0444,)

Kathy Griffin
A rare UK visit from feisty stand-up Griffin, who made her name in mainstream sitcoms from Suddenly Susan to Seinfeld. Her stage persona is more outrageous, though, as she irreverently rips into celebrity culture and the American obsession with the body beautiful. Expect gags about everything from her co-stars to her cosmetic surgery.
Sun, 4.30pm & 8pm, Palace
Theatre, W1 (0844 412 4656, seetickets.com)
