Today in London: Monday 10 June 2013
By TW Editorial | Published on Tuesday 4 June 2013
Hurray – it’s Iced Tea Day and I, for one, am dying of thirst. If you’re the same way, have a tipple on this long, tall list of London’s tastiest culture-thirst slakers…
TODAY’S COMEDY CHOICES
Alfie Brown, Hen & Chickens, 10 Jun
Last featured on ThisWeek London talking about his lauded last show ‘Soul For Sale’, shock tactician Alfie Brown is back with a brand new comic bag he’s taking all the way to this year’s Edinburgh Fringe. Watch him trial it tonight at the H&C shack. Details and tickets here.
Baconface – It’s All Bacon, Soho Theatre, 10-14 Jun (pictured)
Stewart Lee likes a slice of Bacon – arcane comic Baconface, that is – and so will be pleased to learn Canada’s rashest pork-masked woodsman is displaying his strange wares tonight, and every weeknight till Friday. Details and tickets here.
Richard Herring’s Leicester Square Theatre Podcast feat Mary Beard, Leicester Square Theatre, 10 Jun
Keeping Herring’s LSP hotseat warm tonight is well-read Cambridge classicist Mary Beard, who’s certain to add a degree of intelligence to the Podfather’s usually quite silly amalgam of chat, gags and games. Details and tickets here.
TODAY’S MUSIC CHOICES
Mykki Blanco, Village Underground, 10 Jun
If we had to try and classify Mykki Blanco, the teen girl alias of American rapper/artist Michael David Quattlebaum Jr, we’d file him with the likes of trashtalking NYC fashionistas Angel Haze and Azealia Banks. Saying that, Blanco’s style’s really one of a kind, skirting rave, trip hop and Riot Grrl with a singular ease and grace. Details and tickets here.
