Comedy Spoken Word
Today in London: Wednesday 24 October 2012
By TW Editorial | Published on Thursday 18 October 2012
Nations, unite! TW London has it on good, international authority that it’s UN Day today, which means we – the world – must all be signing treaties, waving multi-national flags, and perhaps cutting into celebration cakes shaped like Planet Earth. With iced peace signs on top. So, that’s fun. What follows is a number of less globally-significant things you might like to do next…
TODAY’S COMEDY CHOICES
Holly Burn – The H Club, Leicester Square Theatre, 24 Oct
A “pretty lax” door policy applies at character comic Holly Burn’s not-so-elite H Club, a warped and oddly Lynchian pageant of guests, props and stunts perfect for fans of comedy at its most far-out. Hot tickets available via the LST.
Sketchercise – Halloween Special, Ginglik, Shepherds Bush Green, 24 Oct (pictured)
As-heard-on-Radio-4 troupe Clever Peter compere a one-off Hallow’s eve of surreal and spooky sketch comedy. Usual circuit suspects Cariad Lloyd, Ben Target and Sam Fletcher will perform, as will Two Episodes Of Mash, Alnutt & Simpson, Jenny Fawcett, Damien Slash and Thunderbards. Details here.
TODAY’S SPOKEN WORD CHOICES
David Byrne In Conversation – Do We Need Any More Music?, Curzon Cinema Mayfair, 24 Oct
Musician, raconteur and Talking Head David Byrne is going out on a three-stop literary tour, primarily to speak about various facets of his just-published new book ‘How Music Works’. The London stop will see he and producer/musician Matthew Herbert chatting at London’s Curzon Cinema around the question ‘Do We Need Any More Music?’. If you’d like to hear his answers, or propose your own, this is a link to buy tickets for the event.
