COMEDY: Hurt And Anderson – Bringing Sketchy Back | Canal Cafe Theatre | 21 Jul
The ThreeWeeks-deemed “next Mitchell and Webb”, girl-girl caperers Hurt And Anderson are ‘Bringing Sketchy Back’ – like the J-Timberlakes of imaginative skit-based stand-up. Details and tickets here.
DANCE: The Royal Ballet – Cubanía | Royal Opera House | 21-23 Jul (pictured)
Herculean ballet man Carlos Acosta headlines this mixed bill celebrating the dance styles and rhythms of his native Cuba.

MUSIC: Julia Holter + Ocitrop + Karen Gwyer | St-John-At-Hackney | 21 Jul
LA-based alt-classical lady Julia Holter relays her elegant, ‘Gigi’-inspired new LP, ‘Loud City Song’, in this latest show to slot into 2014’s storied St John Sessions. Holter waits till last to play, following sets by site-specific synth trio Ocitrop and disco collagist Karen Gwyer. Details and tickets here.
