The Servant

Who ever said Sundays had to be bland, desert-like expanses of cultural nothingness?

No one, probably, but with that metaphor in mind, we’ve drained London’s cultural tanks to fill this oasis with the following dewy comical and cinematic droplets…

TODAY’S COMEDY CHOICES

Laugh And A Half presents… Tom Deacon/Tom Rosenthal/James Acaster/Tom Craine, The Pineapple, 24 Mar
All the usual Laugh And A Half regulars – peppy cap-wearer Tom Deacon, ‘Friday Night Dinner’ star Tom Rosenthal, Fosters Comedy Award-shortlistee James Acaster, Jigsaw lynchpin Tom Craine – are set to show themselves at this especially special Sunday night special (and a half). Also appearing: a TBA TV guest, one who’s appeared on ‘Mock The Week’ and ‘Live At The Apollo’, so that’s nice. Details and tickets here.

Stand Up For Labour presents… Shappi Khorsandi/Tony Benn/Tony Law/Ed Aczel, Ilford Catholic Club, 24 Mar
Not that TW London has any political affiliations or anything, but we’re still okaying this funny fundraiser featuring Shappi Khorsandi, Tony Law and ex-MP-gone-raconteur Tony Benn. Oh, and Ed Aczel, who’s famed for changing his show with each performance. Details and tickets here.

TODAY’S FILM CHOICES

The Servant + James Fox/Richard Ayoade/Wendy Craig/Sarah Miles Q&A, Curzon Mayfair, 24 Mar (pictured)
The Curzon presents a special screening of Joseph Losey’s Pinter-written and Dirk Bogard-starring 1960s psycho-drama. Afterwards, Guardian critic Peter Bradshaw chairs a post-film analysis featuring an intro by comedy actor and ‘Submarine’ cineaste Richard Ayoade and ‘Servant’ acting types James Fox, Wendy Craig and Sarah Miles. Details and tickets here.
