TODAY’S COMEDY CHOICES
Dave Has Mates presents… Colin Hoult and Tom Rosenthaal, Wilmington Arms, 2 Mar
Those lacking in ‘Mates’ this Saturday night can instead go hang with well-liked host David Elms and several of his most laughable BFFs, who tonight take the guises of telly stars Colin Hoult and Tom Rosenthal, live fave Pat Cahill and legitimate wit Liam Williams. Details and tickets here.
Live At The Chapel presents… The Pajama Men, Union Chapel, 2 Mar (pictured)
Inheriting the LATC headlining mantle tonight are idiosyncratic character comics (and ThreeWeeks interviewers) The Pajama Men, high-calibre Eddie Izzard-collaborator John Gordillo, and 2011 Edinburgh Comedy Award-winning card Adam Riches. Details and tickets here.
TODAY’S FESTIVAL CHOICES
Wonder: Art And Science, Barbican Centre, 2 Mar – 10 Apr
Organised in collaboration with the Wellcome Trust, the Barbican’s ultra-intellectual multi-arts umbrella features amid its many stimulating mini-events a theatrical recreation of a ‘golden age’ Parisian debating salon; an audio-visual seminar by BBC ‘Horizon’ presenter/prof Marcus du Sautoy; and various relevant film screenings, participatory talks, and special guests like Ruby Wax and science-liking comedienne Helen Arney. Details and tickets here.
