It’s Sunday 20 Jan, and that can mean only one thing… that it’s international DJ Day. According to the Gregorian calendar, anyway.

So after you’ve dialled the mobile disco and set your Skrillex Spotify anthology to ‘shuffle’, why not cast an eye over several Sunday culture selects you’d be mad to skip past…

TODAY’S COMEDY CHOICES

Lebensmüde and Friends!, The Last Refuge, 20 Jan
Peckham’s premiere arts destination hosts a first-class comedy night featuring charming character comedienne Cariad Lloyd, affable chanteuse Rachel Parris, impressionist Max Dowler and a selection of teatime treats (aka cake). The show itself is free, but the cake, we’re warned, will cost. Event details and tickets here.

Mark Thomas Manifesto Warm Ups, Leicester Square Theatre, 20 Jan (pictured)
Mark Thomas whets his wit on a live audience in advance of a new series of his popular Radio 4 show ‘People’s Manifesto’, proposing brand new political policies (of sorts) for public approval (or otherwise). Event details and tickets here.

TODAY’S FILM CHOICES

Deloitte Family Day: Lights, Camera, Action!, Serpentine Gallery, 20 Jan
Always a great means of adding intrigue to a vacant Sunday, this new edition of the Serpentine’s entirely-free Deloitte Family Days is hosted by filmmaker James Holcombe, who invites parents and kids to craft “film loops and colourful light projections” inspired by its main Jonas Mekas exhibition. Event details here.
