Bjork

In today’s cultural line-up, the usual suspects include Tony Soprano’s favourite comic showcase, Simon Callow’s one-man stance on the Wagnerian psyche, and a panoramic performance by Iceland’s finest. Don’t say we don’t do variety…

TODAY’S COMEDY CHOICES

The Goodfather, Comedy Pub, 3 Sep
Bossed by TW-rated ‘Verbal Diary’ mafioso Phil Kay, the Goodfather of all bills features piping hot (and slightly posh) pro David Whitney, gigantine wit Darren Walsh, the affably awkward Harriet Kemsley and bearded cracker Alasdair Beckett-King. Details and tickets here.

TODAY’S MUSIC CHOICES

Björk, Alexandra Palace, 3 Sep
Björk is taking centre stage (and I mean that mathematically, since she’ll be encircled by the audience, the first time Ally Pally has been adapted in this way) tonight in what’ll be her final ‘Biophilia’-based live date of its kind in Europe. Details and tickets here.

Eleanor Friedberger, Bush Hall, 3 Sep
Part-time Fiery Furnace Eleanor Friedberger gives her intimate new LP ‘Personal Record’ a glory lap post its June release, giving voice to its songs of love, loss, and infatuation. Details and tickets here.

TODAY’S THEATRE CHOICES

Inside Wagner’s Head, Linbury Studio Theatre at the Royal Opera House, 3-28 Sep
A special commission for this year’s Stephen Fry-curated Deloitte Ignite, Simon Callow’s latest one-man show finds him climbing inside the mind of opera master Richard Wagner in his bicentenary year, mining his passionate love affairs, provocative writings, long-time political exile and grand classical legacy. Details and tickets here.
