Comedy Music Spoken Word Theatre
Tuesday 1 October 2013 in London
By TW Editorial | Published on Wednesday 25 September 2013
TODAY IN LONDON Society, Al Lubel, Joke Thieves, and the National Theatre’s National Trail, all feature in the following TW-recommended events…
COMEDY: Al Lubel Is Mentally Al, Soho Theatre, 1 Oct
American stand-up Al Lubel’s “divisive, clever and disturbing” (said ThreeWeeks at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe) fess-up finds him revelling in self-indulgence and delusion, acting the ‘spoiled brat’ comedian and kicking against re-Al-ity. Details and tickets here.
COMEDY: Joke Thieves feat Alfie Brown/Dr George Ryegold/Lloyd Griffith, Downstairs At The King’s Head, 1 Oct
Easy-mannered satirist Alfie Brown, “nonchalant” doc George Ryegold and one-time Grimsby choirboy Lloyd Griffith trade material and imitate each other as part of this super-duper night of consensual comic plagiarism. Details and tickets here.
MUSIC: Society, Sebright Arms, 1 Oct (pictured)
Tipped to make it big in 2014; swinging, strings-laden Angular-signings Society – that’s James Girdler and band – rise from “the shadows” and play their first live show. Details and tickets here.
THEATRE: National Trail, National Theatre, 1 Oct – 10 Nov
Creatives metro-boulot-dodo have laid a magical mystery trail at the National Theatre, daring aspiring trackers to solve cryptic hints and find secret treasures giving a glimpse into the NT’s rich dramatic past. Details here.
