And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
COMEDY: The Free Association + People People + Panthercannon | COG ARTSpace | 14 Dec (pictured)
Relatively newly-improvised improv all-stars The Free Association – a hybrid team featuring comics from Austentatious, Showstoppers and Lazy Susan, and both of Max & Ivan – headline their own night at COG Arts’ flagship space, also inviting along up and coming guests in the shape of Ruth Bratt, Andrew Pugsley and David Reed’s dangerously spontaneous Panthercannon, and People People. Details and tickets here.
COMEDY: McNeil & Pamphilon Go 8 Bit! Xmas Special! | Backyard Bar | 14 Dec
Leading ‘geek comedians’ (and stars of the ThisWeek London Podcast) Steve McNeil and Sam Pamphilon gift-wrap this Christmas-themed iteration of their tried and tested ‘8 Bit!’ gaming gig, which features festive forfeits c/o ‘Punishment Twat’ Will Hartley, and next level video-game challengers Alexis Dubus, Nish Kumar, Bec Hill, Matt Highton, Ellie Gibson, Lord Fear and Treguard off of ‘Knightmare Live!’. Details and tickets here.
MUSIC: Buke & Gase | Southbank Centre, Purcell Room | 14 Dec
Playing a cut-and-paste pop amalgam of handmade instruments the ‘buke’ (a smaller-than-usual six string guitar) and the ‘gase’, a cannibalised bass guitar, NYC musicians Aron Sanchez and Arone Dyer give a nod to 2010’s ‘Riposte’, 2013’s ‘General Dome’ and to future sonic doings, too. Details and tickets here.
