TODAY IN LONDON Raymond Brigg’s ‘Snowman’, ‘Little Voice’ star Diana Vickers, Welsh singer-songwriter Cate Le Bon, suave Parisian stand-up Olivier Giraud and peppy pop cheerleaders Summer Camp feature in the following TW-recommended events…

COMEDY: Olivier Giraud – How To Become A Parisian In One Hour, Leicester Square Theatre, 27 Nov
Taking place at fairly leisurely intervals (as is the French way) till next May, comédien française Olivier Giraud’s city of love survival guide is filled with ‘les tips’ on taking taxis, shopping, dining and love-marking, Parisian-style. Details and tickets here.

DANCE: The Snowman, Sadler’s Wells Theatre, 27 Nov – 5 Jan 2014
Birmingham Repertory Theatre’s gift to big and little snow-lovers this Christmas is their spin on Raymond Briggs’ heart-melting festive fairytale, which 35 years on is still as effective in jerking winter’s cheer… and tears. Details and tickets here.

MUSIC: Cate Le Bon, Bush Hall, 27 Nov (pictured)
Having achieved a real feat in mixing West Coast and… well, Welsh Coast aesthetics in her new LP, ‘Mug Museum’, Wales-based singing lady Cate Le Bon celebrates her cleverness this eve at W12 haven Bush Hall. Details and tickets here.

MUSIC: Summer Camp, Heaven, 27 Nov
Pegged as one of 2013’s breakaway indie pop acts, ‘Fresh’ him-and-her hitmakers Summer Camp recreate their eponymous new LP in Heaven as the finale to their latest UK live lap. Details and tickets here.

THEATRE: The Duck House, Vaudeville Theatre, 27 Nov – 29 Mar 2014
Starring TV’s Ben Miller as a fickle, side-switching MP stuck in the midst of the expenses scandal, and featuring ex-‘X-Factor’ hippy chick Diana Vickers as his son Seb’s philandering girlfriend, this dry political satire by ‘Mock The Week’ man Dan Patterson and ‘Have I Got News For You’ writer Colin Swash may be rather strangely cast, but it just might work. Details and tickets here.
