Comedy Festivals Spoken Word
Today in London: Sunday 3 March 2013
By TW Editorial | Published on Sunday 24 February 2013
Well bonjour, guten tag, ciao, 嗨 and hi to you all. TW London’s in an multi-patriotic and sing-song mood today because it’s National Anthem Day, and as such is flying the flag for London’s up-to-date cultural terrain. Listen whilst you read…
TODAY’S COMEDY CHOICES
Lewis Shaffer’s American Guide To England, Leicester Square Theatre, 3 Mar – 21 Apr (pictured)
Esteemed presenter of Resonance FM’s Nunhead American Radio, aka Lewis Shaffer, relates what it’s like to be an American living in Nunhead (since that’s what he is). He’ll share Britain-based revelations, and you will laugh. And no, he won’t be naked and draped provocatively in an American flag. At least, I don’t think he will. Details and tickets here.
Rise Of The Idiots presents… Pete Johansson, The Exhibit, 3 Mar
Bear-baiting (in the ‘making jokes about bears’ sense) Canadian comic Pete Johansson, 20 year-old babe-in-arms Matt Richardson and Lionel Richie admirer Barry Ferns are tonight’s star Idiots, and they’re on the rise. Details and tickets here.
TODAY’S SPOKEN WORD CHOICES
Jewish Book Week, various venues, 3 Mar
Today is the last day of Jewish Book Week, so why not spend a day flitting between the literary festival’s various finales, which are sited all over the city. To name a pair, you have Editor-In-Chief of The Lady magazine, Rachel Johnson, chairing a talk based on her first historical novel ‘Winter Games’; and author Deborah Levy doing the same on her Man Booker-shortlisted tome ‘Swimming Home’. Details and tickets here.
