Amy Winehouse

So, we’ve passed the Wednesday bend and Friday night is in sight… all of which must mean Thursday.  So make this one count, culture-wise, and tick off at least one of the following…

TODAY’S ART CHOICES

Amy Winehouse: For You I Was A Flame, Proud Gallery Camden, 12 Sep – 6 Oct (pictured)
Approved by late Amy W’s family and charitable Foundation, this Camden-based display features paintings by graffiti greats like Bambi and Mr Brainwash, an Amy portrait by The Specials’ Horace Panter and intimate snaps by Dean Chalkey, Jake Chessum and Carolyn Djanogly, leading a thirty-day parade of special #Amys30-labelled events and exhibitions in tribute to Winehouse’s never-realised thirtieth birthday year. Details here.

TODAY’S COMEDY CHOICES

The Foundry Tickler Free Comedy Night feat Matt Rees/Richard Todd/Phil Wang/Laura McClenaghan, The Forge Arts Venues, 12 Sep
Sapient cheese-eater Matt Rees keeps it surreal as headliner at this free-entry Camden Tickler, which is MC’d by Dan Green and stars award-winning comic bod Richard Todd, one-time Cambridge Footlight Phil Wang, and relative new girl Laura McClenaghan. Details and tickets here.

TODAY’S FILM CHOICES

Kew The Movies, Kew Gardens, 12-14 Sep

TODAY’S THEATRE CHOICES
