Today in London: Friday 3 May 2013
By TW Editorial | Published on Thursday 25 April 2013
Ooooooo-ooo… I predict spooky goings-on in London tonight, because it is – a la that strange chill in your bones – Paranormal Day. Since this really isn’t a time to spend solo, why not dispel all fears of ghostly nasties by RSVP-ing one of the following cultural attractions. As they say, there’s safety in numbers…
TODAY’S COMEDY CHOICES
Lead Pencil, Canal Cafe Theatre, 3 May
“Smart and likeable” sketch trio Lead Pencil’s self-titled show draws on a cache of scrawly cardboard props, silly gags, and Kate N Pippa impersonations. Off with their leads! Details and tickets here.
Spank! presents… Katherine Ryan/Marcel Lucont/Late Night Gimp Fight, Udderbelly Southbank, 3 May
Hard-partying Spank!-ers James Wren, Leon Fleury and Corrie McGuire initiate naive guests like Canadian candy girl Katherine Ryan, Gainsbourgian rascal Marcel Lucont, and XXX sketchists Late Night Gimp Fight into the risque ways of a standard Spank! night, namely character skits, sing-songs, and barefaced nakedness. Details and tickets here.
TODAY’S MUSIC CHOICES
Loudon Wainwright III, Royal Festival Hall, 3 May (pictured)
The man who taught Rufus and Martha all they know, Wainwright family patriarch Loudon III, parades his new LP ‘Older Than My Old Man Now’, an aural autobiog of his “swinging life”, in front of a paying audience. Details and tickets here.
