Two minute book reviews from London is Funny

The cackle-inducing Dan Antopolski and Andrew Lawrence previewed new stand-up shows ahead of their Edinburgh Festival airing next month at a marvellous London Is Funny event in Brixton last night. Compered by Johnny Freeman, pictured with the two comedians, it was a night of new material that included a rap about a laser and why people with pale skin shouldn't go to Australia...

Dan Antopolski (pictured, right) will be at the Pleasance Ace Dome from August 6-30 with his show Turn of the Century. He is reading Another Country by James Baldwin. He said: "It's a fantastic book about jazz musicians, I absolutely love it."
Johnny is reading An Apology for Idlers by Robert Louis Stevenson. He said: "It's just a little book but the irony is my own laziness is stopping me from finishing it."

Andrew Lawrence (pictured, right) will be at the Pleasance Courtyard with his show The Too Ugly For Television Tour from August 4-29. He is reading a book on modern history. He said: "It's fine, maybe it's alright."
