Today’s London-based culture package is a real cracker; that is, if you find Stewart Lee, Max Irons and free ‘Les Miserables’ screenings even the slightest bit appealing…

TODAY’S COMEDY CHOICES

Resofit feat Stewart Lee/Baconface/Rob Newman, Bloomsbury Theatre, 11 Sep
Stewart Lee and his streaky-masked pal/alias Baconface take a sizzling stab at saving non-profit radio station Resonance FM’s… erm, bacon, by headlining this charity gig. Free crisps all round then (smoky bacon flavour we assume). TW favourites like Simon Amstell and Rosie Wilby are also along for the ride. Details and tickets here.

TODAY’S FILM CHOICES

More London Free Film Festival, The Scoop, 11-27 Sep
Closing its four-month mixed arts programme with a filmic finale, More London shows the likes of ‘Skyfall’, ‘Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon’, ‘Back To The Future’, ‘The Birds’, ‘Les Miserables’ and ‘Amour’ at no-cost whatsoever. Crowds can also vote on one last movie (shown 27 Sep) from  family faves ‘Grease’, ‘The Sound Of Music’ and/or, well, ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’. Details here.

TODAY’S MUSIC CHOICES

Dean Blunt, 100 Club, 11 Sep
Dean Blunt of odd-pop mysterons Hype Williams is making a rare live arrival at the 100 Club tonight, this a means of ingratiating his highly-praised solo LP ‘The Redeemer’ to fans following its release via World Music/Hippos In Tanks. Details and tickets here.

TODAY’S THEATRE CHOICES

Farragut North, Southwark Playhouse, 11 Sep – 5 Oct (pictured)
The play that spawned Clooney and co’s bigtime political titan ‘The Ides Of March’, Beau Willimon’s ‘Farragut North’ stars Max ‘Jeremy Jr’ Irons as a bright, aspirational press secretary with designs on greater things… designs that falter when he makes a crucial call that sparks a chain of spiralling events. Details and tickets here.
