Today in London: Saturday 10 November 2012
By TW Editorial | Published on Friday 2 November 2012
Hey! The Lord Mayor’s Show – aka “the oldest, longest, most popular civic procession in the world”, no less – will be advancing its stately way between Mansion House, St Paul’s Cathedral and the Royal Courts Of Justice this very day at 11am. So, that’s nice. But first, and in contrast to all that pomp and ceremony), embrace a little levity via a select summary of this evening’s comic goings-on…
TODAY’S COMEDY CHOICES
Dan Clark – These Songs May Contain Jokes, Bush Hall, 10 Nov (pictured)
Sitcom-starring personality Dan Clark (appearing as himself and his ‘How Not To Live Your Life’ character Don Danbury) plays his “ridiculously silly” greatest hits repertoire, backed by a live band. Timings and ticket links here.
Jo Caulfield, Better The Devil You Know, Blackheath Halls, 10 Nov
Consummate pro and TW favourite Jo Caulfield straight-talks “dating, relationships, bad service, wrestling with a self-scanner in Tesco Supermarket and humiliating herself in public” in one glorious great anger-athon. Info on that via this link.
Matt Richardson – Hometown Hero, Pleasance Theatre, 10 Nov
Much as I’m loath to patronise twenty-something Matt Richardson as a ‘precocious’ or ‘promising’ young comic… well, I’m going to anyway. Tonight he’ll demonstrate just such attributes via an in-progress preview of his debut solo routine, saying things about “life, being liked and nosebleeds”. Details here.
