Comedy Film Music Spoken Word Theatre
Sunday 20 October 2013 in London
By TW Editorial | Published on Sunday 13 October 2013
TODAY IN LONDON Edinburgh Fringe award winner Adrienne Truscott, comic quizmaster Alistair Donegan and spooky film score co Live Live Cinema feature in the following TW-recommended events…
COMEDY: Adrienne Truscott’s Asking For It – A One-Lady Rape About Comedy Starring Her Pussy And Little Else!, Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club, 20 Oct
Crash bang, what a title, and what a show; if bold physical baffoonery is your thing. Naked from the waist down and armed with polka dots, a projector and passable put-ons of Robert De Niro and Louis CK, the inhibition-less Ms Truscott unzips and rethinks the rules and rhetoric surrounding rape, comedy, and the awkward spaces in between. Details and tickets here.
COMEDY: Backyard Big Fat Mega Fun Quiz, Backyard Bar & Kitchen, 20 Oct
Get busy quizzin or get busy… well just give the quizzin a spin, never mind the ‘dying’ option. This is the Big Fat Mega Fun Quiz, which is like a traditional Sunday quiz, but with added sensory tests and skills challenges. And a dashing quizmaster in Alistair Donegan. And alcoholic spot prizes. Details and tickets here.
FILM: Live Live Cinema presents… Carnival Of Souls/Dementia 13, Barbican, 20 Oct (pictured)
Herk Harvey’s black-and-white gothic classic ‘Carnival Of Souls’ and Francis Ford Coppola’s damn scary ‘Dementia 13’, both horror stalwarts, are given a live fright-boost by sonic ‘madman’ Leon Radojkovicand’s (and a cast of actors, musicians and foley artists) spooky score . Details and tickets here.
