By TW Editorial | Published on Thursday 31 July 2014
And the LDN-based events the ThisWeek team is tipping today are…
COMEDY: The Thom Tween Show | Phoenix Artist Club | 7-10 Aug
“No God, no morals, no free will, no fucking point”. Comedian Thom Tween, which likely isn’t his real name, sires a variety of “dark and fluffy” live stand-up as a mere part of this year’s Camden Fringe fest. Details and tickets here
MUSIC: Erland And The Carnival | Servant Jazz Quarters | 7 Aug (pictured)
Raised on the Orkney Islands and now based in the big city, roving folk nomad Erland Cooper presents his and collaborator Simon Tong’s (Gorillaz/The Verve) latest LP, ‘Closing Time’ at the Servant Jazz Quarters. “’Closing Time’ doesn’t mark the beginning of the end; rather it marks an end to permit a new beginning”, he explains. “When Summer dies it’s to let winter in, then spring opens it up again; it has to happen. It’s enjoyable when you accept that you have a limited time to make things happen to the best of your ability”. Details and tickets here.
THEATRE: Memory Points | Southbank Centre | 7-18 Aug
One of those ‘promenade’ drama works, Platform 4’s ‘Memory Points’ has its audience sporting headphones and costumes, and taking a walking tour of various mini sculptures designed to prompt reminiscence. The show is created with the guidance of the Alzheimer’s Society, and features a score by SB Centre Artist In Residence Pete Flood, of Bellowhead fame. Details and tickets here.
