Comedy Dance & Physical Spoken Word
Saturday 29 November 2014 in London
By TW Editorial | Published on Sunday 23 November 2014
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
COMEDY: The Barry Wise Wise Tour Of Soho | various locations | 29 Nov (pictured)
Join flat-capped Soho wideboy Barry Wise and his mate Clive for a 4pm or 6pm safari of one of London’s most dynamic locales. Disclaimer: the accuracy of pair’s facts on Soho’s fascinating history may vary, wildly, depending on the whiskey level in their hip flasks. Details and tickets here.
COMEDY: Soirée Subterranea w/ Phil Kay | ‘secret underground chamber’, Zone 2 | 29 Nov
‘Mad Abbot Sir Phil Of Kay’ (aka bearded Scotsman Phil Kay) presides over this medieval mix of sit down stand-up and absinthe-based rakishness, which is based loosely on Sir Francis Dashwood et al’s elite Hellfire Club of olde. The night is plotted like a ritual induction into a ‘tawdry brotherhood’ of monks, and will feature the profane comic stylings of honorary friars Ed Aczel, Nik Revell, Michael Brunström and Liberty Hodes; plus Rick Jones on the lute, and an all-important game of Edwardian animal impersonations. Details (which will be revealed on the day of the event) and tickets here.
DANCE: Fresh 2014 w/ Blue Boy Entertainment + Clément Dazin + James Wilton Dance | The Place | 29 Nov
This teen dream of a showcase features short and sweet works from a team of rising young dance companies (not least the jnr wing of Olivier-winning hip hop firm Blue Boy Entertainment), and ace choreographers Clément Dazin, James Wilton and Ben Duke. Details and tickets here.
