By TW Editorial | Published on Saturday 15 March 2014
TW’s tipped events TODAY IN LONDON feature sad (tonight) comedy types The Beta Males, MJ Hibbett and Michelle Madsen, LOLs-leaches Brendon Burns and Ben Target, and a heavy load of human rights films…
COMEDY: Leach On Laughter feat Brendon Burns/Ben Target/Tom Deacon/Wouter Meijs, Record Club, 21 Mar
**This show has been cancelled due to refurbishments**
Jeff Leach introduces a mob of stand-up bloodsuckers, including frequent ThreeWeeks columnist and Edinburgh Fringe legend Brendon Burns, propsmaster Ben Target, BBC Radio 1’s Tom Deacon and Dutch dazzler Wouter Meijs. Details and tickets here.
COMEDY: Stand Up Tragedy feat The Beta Males/MJ Hibbett/Michelle Madsen/Drunken Chorus, Hackney Picturehouse, 21 Mar
A very British night of misery-themed skits climaxing in a ‘cathartic sing-a-long’, this so-sad-it’s-happy comic showcase co-stars melancholy moaners The Beta Males, wonderful comedy music man MJ Hibbett, poet/peformer Michelle Madsen and drama throng Drunken Chorus. Details and tickets here.
FILM: Human Rights Watch Film Festival, various locations, – 28 Mar (pictured)
Bringing to light various human rights abuses, and at the same time building a forum for discussion, London’s annual HRWFF incorporates films from all over the world. From Africa, searching Madiba doc ‘Mandela: The Myth and Me’, to a string of shorts on life in wartime Syria, to aspirational Iranian feature ‘Sepideh’, no topic is off limits. Details and tickets here.
