Today marks World Food Day, an international occasion to consider our nutritional reserves, crops, wastage and that. And not just an excuse for a particularly big steak dinner. Though if you are out on the town, you might want to cast an eye over the following cultural treats…

TODAY’S CABARET CHOICES

Frank Sanazi – Das Vegas Night, LOST Theatre, 16 Oct
A choice cabaret cut from this new theatre’s ‘Lost In Stockwell’ season, Frank Sanazi’s ‘Das Vegas Night’ plays on the strange-but-untrue premise that Hitler and Frank Sinatra are one and the same. Weird Weimar humour and a rendition of ‘That’s Reich’ are givens in this melange of swing-songery and special guest cameos, not least by Sanazi’s daughter Nancy. Click here to buy tickets.

TODAY’S COMEDY CHOICES

Shappi Khorsandi – Dirty Looks & Hopscotch, Soho Theatre, 16 Oct – 3 Nov (pictured)
Radio/TV wit Shappi Khorsandi riffs candidly on a past affair with an anonymous rock star, mining serious, poignant and oft awkward notes from stories of her real-life romances. Booking info here.

Tom Allen’s Society, Comedy Theatre Cafe, 16 Oct
TW favourite Tom Allen‘s once-monthly talk show is back at the Comedy Theatre Cafe, as its impeccably-attired host sets a variety of celebrity guests at their ease with his “incisive chat”. Tickets and details at this link.
