Found Footage Festival

It may be a wet and non-springlike Wednesday at the end of March, but there are many ways to make it the best wet and non-springlike March Wednesday ever.

All one has to do is to read this list of London’s mid-week cultural treats…

TODAY’S COMEDY CHOICES

Found Footage Festival, Soho Theatre, 27-30 Mar (pictured)
VHS obsessives Nick Prueher and Joe Pickett reel off this televisual repast of odd and silly vid clips, all of which they’ve lovingly collected from American thrift shops and garage sales. From industrial training regimes to forsaken family movies, they’ll show it all. Details and tickets here.

Knock2Bag presents… Gittins To Know You, The Horse, 27 Mar
By day, head chef at a roadside cafe and a chatshow host by night, oily ‘Derek’ part-timer Brian Gittins (aka character comic David Earl) asks the audience to be his guests. And I mean that literally… he doesn’t have that many famous ones. Details and tickets here.

TODAY’S THEATRE CHOICES

Moby Dick, Arcola Theatre, 27 Mar – 4 May
Lean, mean (and green) theatre co, TW London interviewees Simple8, may not have expensive sets designs and fancy props, but as their imaginative and intentionally basic ‘Moby Dick’ adaptation shows, such extravagances do not a great play make. Details and tickets here.
