Three To See on 23 Jun: Pat Cahill – The Fisherman, Infinite Joy, Estamos Presente
By TW Editorial | Published on Saturday 16 June 2018
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
Pat Cahill – The Fisherman | Soho Theatre | 22-23 Jun
This is what one of our edfringe reviewers said about Pat Cahill: “an assured stand-up, plugging a down-beat but optimistic outlook on life through a combination of sing-along songs, anecdotes and poetry. Considering how sporadic and bizarre his topics are, Cahill pulls off the impressive feat of forming a cohesive whole.” Another wrote “It’s almost certainly the only Fringe show you’ll come out of singing about coconuts.” In any case, you can expect something quirky and hilarious.

Infinite Joy | Southwark Playhouse | 23 Jun-14 Jul
This musical is playing in rep with ‘Sticky’, a show we recommended for yesterday, and this looks equally interesting: “A small stormy island, a tribe of teenagers and their “Mother” live in complete isolation. Cut-off from the outside world, when a piece of modern technology washes up on the rocks, it opens up a strange new world of endless possibilities. These possibilities offer infinite joy, but at what cost?” For info, see the venue website here.
Estamos Presente (We Are Present) | Roundhouse | 23 Jun (pictured)
Another spoken word treat from the Last Word Festival, this time from a bi-lingual collective of young British Latino writers who will celebrate the culture of the half a million Latinos living in the UK, and challenge the stereotypes – drugs, Shakira and football – associated with them. You can expect diverse themes, from political tragedy and magic realism to samba and telenovelas. See this page here for details.
