Today in London: Sunday 21 October 2012
By TW Editorial | Published on Monday 15 October 2012
Hey, who knew, it’s Reptile Awareness Day today, a time for compassion towards our cold-blooded co-planet-dwellers. If, on that basis, you’d like to stroke a snake, or perhaps look a komodo dragon square in its beady eye, London Zoo has a programme of daily events to suit those very desires. But if scaly lizards just aren’t your thing, why not consider the following warm and mammalian culture choices…
TODAY’S COMEDY CHOICES
Marcus Brigstocke – The Brig Society, Rose Theatre, 21 Oct
The great (and good) Marcus Brigstocke proposes his socio-political comic manifesto in typically articulate terms, adding analogies for the less initiated. Based on ThreeWeeks’ recommending the routine as an “eloquent and informed hour of vitriolic Coalition-bashing, peppered with an array of clever and laugh-out-loud punchlines”, you might like to book tickets via this link.
Tony Law – Sunday Special, Up The Creek, Greenwich, 21 Oct
It’s a great pleasure to once again be talking about ThreeWeeks cover-star Tony Law, who’s headlining an unquestionably fine line in stand-up at this evening’s Up The Creek. Seeking to surpass Law’s brand of ‘Maximum Nonsense’ will be as-seen-on-TV Norwegian comic Daniel Simonsen, and resident MC Elis James. Info and telephone bookings via www.sundayspecial.co.uk
Voodoo Nights, Lyric Hammersmith, 21 Oct
The Lyric Hammersmith reinstalls its Voodoo Nights as part of a new season of live comedy, curating a roster featuring co-hosts James Acaster, Nick Helm and Josh Widdicombe, with Milton Jones, Sara Pascoe and David Trent appearing at successive events. Details and tickets here.
