Today in London: Tuesday 4 December 2012
By TW Editorial | Published on Wednesday 28 November 2012
Since the world is observing Wear Brown Shoes Day today, it’d be a faux pas to do anything else but.
So staying on that same theme, try this rack of tonight’s well-heeled cultural events for size…

Laughing Boy Comedy Club presents… Andrew Maxwell, Brixton Jamm, 4 Dec

Sketchercise Christmas Special, Ginglik, 4 Dec
Since its Christmas (well, nearly), Sketchercise is tonight gifting Ginglik-going audiences with festive sets by silliness specialists McNeil & Pamphilon, the pacy and waistcoat-wearing Beta Males, and black humourists Hennessey & Friends. Also present to invoke extra merriment; General Advice Bureau, Spencer Jones, The Flytones, Spoon, Groin Albatross and pro Sketchercisers Allnutt & Simpson. Details here.
