And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
COMEDY: Stand Up For A Chair | Bloomsbury Theatre | 21 Jan (pictured)
Smiles-winning pairing Jessica Fostekew and Sara Pascoe lay on the likes of Alan Davis (and Katherine Ryan, Al Murray, Susan Calman, and a secret “MEGA STAR”) in aid of a new wheelchair for Fostekew’s teen sister Hatty Greenway, who has cerebral palsy and scoliosis. Details and tickets here.
MUSIC: Hinds | Boston Arms | 21 Jan
The new band name on all the cool kids’ lips is Hinds, especially since this sparky all-girl Spanish squad had to change it from Deers. Because a hind is a female deer aged three and over, got it? Anyway, despite this minor tweak, Hinds will still be playing Deers’ same style of wall-of-sound-sized indie-pop, which can be tried and tasted on the official Hinds Bandcamp page. Details and tickets here.
THEATRE: Happy Birthday Without You | Tricycle Theatre | 21-24 Jan
Actress/comedian Sonia Jalaly – who writes, speaks and looks like a real credible star in the making – here plays “‘award-winning’ live and visual spoken word solo artist Violet Fox”. ‘Happy Birthday Without You’ finds Jalaly, in character as Fox, looking back on a lifetime of birthdays, and sharing the story of her complicated relationship with her mother through a series of birthday anecdotes, musical interludes and cake. Details and tickets here.
