And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
COMEDY/FILM: Heroes Grand Finale – The Secret Santa-Geddon | Grotto Of Comedy, Throgmorton St | 18 Dec
Okay, so whilst yes, we have already kind of tipped Bob Slayer’s ‘Grotto Of Comedy’ residency to-do at large, we haven’t pointed specifically to its grand finale. The event centres on the premiere of ‘Santageddon The Movie’, which was written and filmed on-site at the Grotto by Matt Highton and Stuart Laws, and stars Nick Helm, John Kearns, Gemma Whelan, Joz Norris, Pat Cahill, Beck Hill and… Bob Slayer! Aside from that, there’ll be a heavenly host of secret comics performing live on the night. Who exactly? Only Santa knows. Details and tickets here.
MUSIC: End Of The Road Christmas Special w/ Stealing Sheep | Oslo | 18 Dec
Psych-folk trio Stealing Sheep (and their Mythopoeia Procession) headline this off-site spin-off of discerning Dorset fest End Of The Road, which will find the band celebrating Christmas (and themselves) with a live spectacle featuring The Harlequin Dynamite Marching Band, ‘galaxies and tapestries’ and other cool visual aids. And support on the night is from young psych-pop savant Kiran Leonard. Details and tickets here.
THEATRE: The Sound Of Silence | Apiary Studios | 18-19 Dec
The unusually-capitalised AnOtherPlace Theatre Company present one of them ‘site-specific promenade events’, this time based on Jean Cocteau’s ‘The Sound Of Silence’, which follows an exasperated woman waiting for her lover. A room inside the Apiary Studios will serve as the self-contained apartment in which the play takes place, whilst another will act as a 1920s Parisian jazz bar; so places are limited by the size of the space. Details and tickets here.
