Loving Linda

And the LDN-based events the ThisWeek team is tipping today are….

COMEDY: Loving Linda Gala w/ Bridget Christie + Mark Thomas + Susan Calman, Rose Theatre, 11 May (pictured)
This starry gala night in aid of Target Ovarian Cancer is hosted by the incomparable Susan Calman, and finds top comic bods Rory McGrath & Philip Pope (who’ll sing excepts from their hit musi-com ‘Bridge Over Troubled Lager’), Bridget Christie, Mark Thomas and Angela Barnes all paying their respects to late, great comedienne Linda Smith, who died of the ovarian cancer in 2006. Details and tickets here.

MUSIC: Courtney Love, Shepherd’s Bush Empire, 11 May
Like or hate rock’s #1 bad girl, the one-time Mrs Cobain’s abiding celebrity is as certain and hard-to-deny as death and taxes. Tonight Love stops off to sing back her first solo single since 2004, the roaring AA-side ‘You Know My Name/Wedding Day’, and go over some Hole and other solo hits too. Details and tickets here.

MUSIC: Teebs, Birthdays, 11 May
The impeccable Teebs, aka LA-based pop programmer Mtendere Mandowa, has committed to a solo show in the name of his expansive new LP ‘Estara’, which had its release via Ninja Tune back in April. Birthdays is the place, and 8pm the time. Details and tickets here.
