Cabaret Circus Comedy Music
Saturday 16 August 2014 in London
By TW Editorial | Published on Friday 8 August 2014
And the LDN-based events the ThisWeek team is tipping today are…
CABARET: Saturday Night At The Spiegeltent | London Wonderground | 16 Aug
Saturday nights at the London Wonderground’s flagship Spiegeltent space are a rather niche affair, so haters of silent disco vibes, and/or live circus and cabaret by the likes of fire-breather Aurora Galore, handbalancing man Sammy Dineen, contortionist Jo Foley, hoop acrobat Jessie Rose, and/or breakdancing crews needn’t apply to this evening’s event. Details and tickets here.
COMEDY: The Perceptionists | Hen & Chickens Theatre | 16 Aug
Acclaimed musical funny-lady Tammy Stone, TW favourites Jo Ball and Jonathan Hansler, and on-point improv comic Yasser Kayani, are The Perceptionists, and together they do skewed impersonations in even weirder contexts. Like, for instance, Basil Fawlty on cookery show with some ghosts, or Inspector Clouseau at a speed-dating event. Details and tickets here.
MUSIC: James Lavelle + Derrick May + A Guy Called Gerald | Koko | 16 Aug (pictured)
UNKLE‘s James Lavelle, Detroit techno pioneer Derrick May and acid rave innovator A Guy Called Gerald head up a larger-than-large dance line-up at Camden’s Koko, with their top sets following openers from DJs Richard Fearless (of Death In Vegas), Last Magpie, Barem, and a live appearance by French Kiwi Juice. Details and tickets here.
