Here at TW London, we always keep a vigilant watch on silly international ‘days’.

And that’s why – on Chocolate Caramel Day – we’ve foil-wrapped this mini bar of London’s sweetest and stickiest cultural treats…

TODAY’S COMEDY CHOICES

Adam Buxton – Best Of Bug, Odeon Leicester Square, 19 Mar (pictured)
Adam Buxton presents, as the event’s title intimates, the very best music videos (a la his Sky Atlantic TV show) and a gag-reel of fun film facts, laughs, and highly relevant chitchat with ‘Shaun Of The Dead’ directorial don Edgar Wright. Details and tickets here.

Piff The Magic Dragon – Jurassic Bark, 19-23 Mar
Mumford & Son’s go-to magician, aka the strange and dragon-disguised Piff, heads forth with his canine foil – that’s ‘death defying’ chihuahua Mr Piffles – on a ‘Jurassic’ comic jolly. Details and tickets here.

TODAY’S MUSIC CHOICES

Teenage Cancer Trust presents… Ryan Adams and Beth Orton, Royal Albert Hall, 19 Mar
This is the first in a series of shows Noel Gallagher has co-arranged as an admirable cash-raising initiative for the Teenage Cancer Trust. Ryan Adams and Beth Orton start things off, whilst latter nights at the RAH will star Primal Scream, Rizzle Kicks, Kasabian, Russell Brand and and Noel Fielding, and, naturally, Noel, who’ll appear alongside ‘special guests’ Graham Coxon and Damon Albarn. Details and tickets here.

The Men, The Garage, 19 Mar
Fathers to last year’s ‘Open Your Heart’ LP, Brooklyn’s The Men are back and carrying their fourth LP ‘New Moon’. They play tracks from that tonight, with NYC peers Parquet Courts in support. Details and tickets here.
