So. David Bowie is happening now. Well, ‘now’ only applies if the time is 7pm, which is when the V&A will beam a live film looking at its vastly acclaimed/virtually inaccessible ‘David Bowie Is’ exhibit into participating cinemas nationwide. Info on that is via this link. And now, in loyal Bowie style, a star-gazing search into today’s arts ch-ch-ch-ch choices…

TODAY’S COMEDY CHOICES

Laugh Out London presents… Robin Ince/Celia Pacquola/Ben Target, Old Queen’s Head, 13 Aug
LoL’s Angel-based branch giveth a heavenly array of comics, not least quizzical prof/boff Robin Ince, as-seen-on-TV Aussie Celia Pacquola, Edinburgh Comedy Award nominated Ben Target and zany surrealist Lou Sanders. Details and tickets here.

TODAY’S MUSIC CHOICES

Bat For Lashes, Shepherd’s Bush Empire, 13 Aug (pictured)
Diaphanous pop shamanka Natasha Khan, alias Bat For Lashes, will be re-selling (in a figurative and, I guess, literal sense) her new-ish LP ‘The Haunted Man’ amidst a string of continental festival PAs. Details and tickets here.

TODAY’S THEATRE CHOICES

The Beautiful, Tristan Bates Theatre, 13-14 Aug
Actor/theatre-maker Petar Miloshevski’s ‘peculiar’ main character strives for a state of heightened beauty but is unaware of the cost of his actions; physical decay and moral disintegration. Dorian Gray, anyone? Details and tickets here.

Fawlty Towers – The Dinner Show, The Forge, 13-15 Aug
The Camden Fringe‘s dish of the day today is a somewhat love or hate option, as ‘Fawlty Towers’ fans Laughlines drag an audience into their frenzied silver-service dining ‘experience’, even serving a three course meal! Details and tickets here.
