And the LDN-based events the ThisWeek team is tipping today are…

COMEDY: The Geekatorium w/ Nick Revell | The Phoenix, Cavendish Square | 5 Oct
Presented ‘on-the-reg’ by comic/’Nintendo apologist’ Paul Gannon and his peer-in-nerddom, humble genius Eli Silverman, this particular edition of Sunday night pop-culture hub ‘The Geekatorium’ features dorky guest witticisms from Nick Revell. Details and tickets here.

FILM: Witching & Bitching + Violet + Who Killed Bambi? | Cine Lumiere | 5 Oct (pictured)
Making that ‘a wrap’ on the final day of this year’s London Spanish Film Festival, it’s a trio of films starting off with Álex De La Iglesia’s nail-biting horror ‘Las Brujas De Zugarramurdi’s (or ‘Witching & Bitching). And following that, in order, are Luiso Berdejo’s polaroid-based love story ‘Violet’ (pictured), and ‘Quién Mató a Bambi’ (aka ‘Who Killed Bambi?’), a crazed black comedy from director Santi Amodeo. Details and tickets here.

MUSICAL: Free As Air | Finborough Theatre | 5-21 Oct
A chirpy, paradisiacal musical dating back to 1957, Julian Slade’s ‘Free As Air’ is set on the tiny floating oasis of Terhou amidst its happy Channel Island natives. It’s here revived by Stewart Nicholls, and stars Wiltshire-born soprano Charlotte Baptie as ‘beautiful stranger’ (and potential May Queen) Geraldine. Details and tickets here.
