Veteran magician Paul Daniels, classic open air Shakespeare, an insight in to the sauna sex industry and Le Hip Parade are the best of the bunch this week.

JUST WHORES, New Venture Theatre, Brighton, July 26 to August 2. This sneaky look at the sauna sex industry theough the eyes of a student who turns to prostitution to cope with debts was first performed in 1994 and just keeps coming back. The innovative play was researched with the help of the Scottish Prostitutes Education Project and Brighton Street Outreach Service, and contains strong language and one explicit scene. Starts 8.15pm, tickets £7/£6. Call 01273 746118.

PRIORITE A GAUCHE, Komedia, Brighton, July 26. The two rather hip stars of BBC's Le Hip Parade bring their brand of French humour to the UK and perform all the hits that made them who they are today. The twosome ponder the merits of British culture, including our food, drink and music and coolly educate their audience about the French way of doing things at the same time. Starts 8pm, tickets £8.50/£6.50. Call 01273 647100.

AN AUDIENCE WITH PAUL DANIELS, Pavilion Theatre, Worthing, July 27. From humble beginnings on TV show Opportunity Knocks, this funny magic man and his 'I like it, not a lot but I like it' catchphrase is now a household name. The show is divided into two parts: the first answering questions from the audience about his early and showbiz life, and the second mixing magic in the style that made him famous. Starts 7.45pm, tickets £14-£17. Call 01903 206206.

MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, Italian Gardens, Eastbourne, July 29. Continuing the season of open air theatre is this amateur production of Shakespeare's magical tale of fairies in a forest. Perhaps the play most notoriously suited to the outdoors, it follows the simultaneous fortunes of moping mortals and fighting fairies during a wondrous single night when roguish spirts turn the world of love on its head. Starts 7.30pm, tickets £8.50. Call 01323 731589.
