DANE BAPTISTE: London's Soho Theatre is producing this show in which Baptiste presents some of his favourite, previously unseen material from the last five years. And afterwards the comic will jump onto the Zoom screening to talk more about the show and answer questions from the audience. It starts at 8pm and tickets, priced £10, are available from the Soho Theatre website.

GORGON: A HORROR STORY: Comedian Elf Lyons first conceived this as live immersive show, which ran at London's Vaults Festival early last year. Then the real horror hit, so now it is being released in a new format, as a 'a digital play designed to prey on the senses', inspired by the gruesome Grand-Guignol’s tradition of the early 20th Century. It is being released on Bandcamp today.

JUST LIKE THAT! THE Tommy Cooper SHOW: It would have been the fez-wearing funnyman's 100th birthday today, and to mark the occasion, John Hewer, pictured, presents a streamed version of his live tribute show, followed by a Q&A. 'We cannot bring Tommy back,' says John, 'But by celebrating him in this way, and sharing his unique style of comedy - a timeless, joyous, innocent and comforting kind of comedy - we will not only be rekindling memories for older generations, but also making new ones, for generations of Cooper fans to come.' Watch free on YouTube from 7.30pm.

THE F-SPOT WITH DERRICK BECKLES: Beckles worked with Eric Andre on his eponymous, anarchic, anti-talk show - and brings a lot of the same spirit for this hidden camera show in which he tests the patience of a real focus group with stunts and stupidity. It arrives on All4 today.
