Our Share Of Tomorrow

So it’s Monday, which doesn’t have to mean doom and gloom on the cultural side of things, no way. Not if the likes of Bill Bailey, Jigsaw and The Pin, theatre co Real Circumstances, and bold collaborators Early Opera Company and Avant Garde Dance have anything to do with it. Which they do, as you’ll find out by reading on…

TODAY’S COMEDY CHOICES

Bill Bailey – Qualmpeddler, Hammersmith Apollo, 17-18 Jun
Bill Bailey dares panic-stricken LDNers to taste his panicky comic soup de jour, aka his Broth Of Anxiety, as may contain traces of Cut-Price Shark Diving, The Hiding Skills of Dentists, A Theory of Cognitive Dissonance & Internet Shopping, Mandarin Ambiguity, Religious Dubstep, and Fashioning Replacement Hamsters. Details and tickets here.

Making Faces’ Facelift Comedy feat Jigsaw / Bob & Jim / Thunderbards / The Pin, Bar Kick, 17 Jun
Jocular hosts Making Faces‘ radical comic ‘casserole’ is boiling over in a flood of foamy hilarity tonight, mainly because the show’s combo of acts – that’s well fit sketch riddlers Jigsaw, East End geezers Bob & Jim, “brilliant” (says Josie Long) laughter scholars Thunderbards and risque players The Pin – are really that hot. Details and tickets here.

TODAY’S DANCE CHOICES

Monteverdi Ballets, Village Underground, 17 Jun
This operatic/balletic clash (that’s ‘clash’ in an abstractly beautiful way, mind) of the classic and the contemporary pits the Early Opera Company – who’ll play a 400-odd year old score c/o Italian composer Monteverdi – against the Avant Garde Dance co’s topical hip hop narratives. Details tickets here.

TODAY’S THEATRE CHOICES

Our Share Of Tomorrow, Theatre 503, 17 Jun – 6 Jul (pictured)
“Unique and awe-inspiring. A heart-breaking theatrical gem, which will deeply move those fortunate enough to witness it”, this is what one rather enamoured ThreeWeeks writer said on watching innovative playmakers Real Circumstance‘s 5/5 drama – a quayside tale of first love, and first loss – which has its London premiere tonight at Battersea’s 503 enclave. Details and tickets here.
