Art & Events Comedy Spoken Word
11 Apr: Gina Yashere, Secret 7″, and The Oxford & Cambridge Goat Race
By TW Editorial | Published on Sunday 5 April 2015
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
COMEDY: Gina Yashere | Brixton Academy | 11 Apr (pictured)
Based in the US nowadays, Gina Yashere hits the Brixton Academy for the finale of her ‘Laugh Riot’ UK tour. With almost 20 years of stand-up work behind her, she’s a rightly revered comedian. Catch her while you can. Details and tickets here.
EXHIBITION: Secret 7″ | Somerset House | 10 Apr – 3 May
Each year, the Secret 7″ project asks 700 artists to create a one-off record sleeve design. Seven music acts – this year The Rolling Stones, Diana Ross & The Supremes, Underworld, The Chemical Brothers, St Vincent, Peter Gabriel and The Maccabees – all have 100 copies each of a single pressed up. You buy a sleeve, you get one of those records. Which one… is a secret. You can see all the sleeves at Somerset House before they go on sale, and take part in a number of associated events. Details and tickets here.
EVENT: The Oxford & Cambridge Goat Race | Spitalfields City Farm | 11 Apr
Sure, you could watch a load of Oxbridge students row a couple of boats for a few minutes today. You totally could. But tell me this doesn’t sound like more fun. You can’t, can you? Goats. Racing. I’m not sure it gets any better than that. Details and tickets here.
