If you haven't made it to Battersea Arts Centre's N2O Season of Comedy time is running out as the three-week festival comes to an end this Saturday.

There are still three top class acts to see though from a Dutch superstar to a stand-up comic and a group of rather original Japanese musicians.

Tonight (Thursday) and tomorrow (10.30pm, £10) Hans Teeuwen will be performing his critically acclaimed cabaret ahead of his run at the Edinburgh Festival.

The comedian, jazz singer and self-titled defender of free speech says he most likes to spend his days in a hot bath contemplating world peace.

Tomorrow night (9pm, £8) Ed Aczel presents his new show aimed at saving the world, called Ed Aczel Explains All The World’s Problems… And Then Solves Them.

Topics include the credit crunch, climate change and, crucially, stand-up comedy. Please note there is a strict no refunds policy on problems you feel he hasn’t solved.

Then on Saturday (9pm, £8), six Japanese musicians will close the festival by making music from the unlikeliest objects.

Teacups, water, boxes, nutty antics, blown bubbles, glow-in-the-dark drumsticks, grunts, squeals, sound loops and audience noises all come together in a kaleidoscope of sound, theatre and colour.
