By TW Editorial | Published on Saturday 27 April 2013
Aha, what have we here? A bevy of London’s most shapely cultural beauties just waiting to be appreciated? Well yeah, actually…
TODAY’S COMEDY CHOICES
Andrew Maxwell, Elgar Room at Royal Albert Hall, 4 May
Always good (nay, great) for a laugh, vivacious Irishman Andrew Maxwell demonstrates, once again, why he’s one of the scene’s most dependable comics. Details and tickets here.
Susan Calman – Out Of My Mind, Udderbelly Southbank, 4 May
The inimitable Susan Calman has a new show (as in, her first since last year’s Thatcher-inspired smash hit) based on her mild private manias to share, and tonight shall be revealing said manias (talking to cats, for one) to an audience of 18+ nosy parkers. Details and tickets here.
TODAY’S MUSIC CHOICES
I’ll Be Your Mirror feat Yeah Yeah Yeahs/Black Lips/Jon Spencer Blues Explosion/Anika, Alexandra Palace, 4 May (pictured)
This year’s is a particularly high-shine IBYM line-up, namely thanks to its headlining stars, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, who’ve chosen bands like the Black Lips, the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Anika, Mick Harvey and Dirty Beaches to play their edition of the ATP-enabled festival. And that’s just the live side of things; fest guests can also take in a range of cinema, DJs, cocktails, and real ales. NB: Grizzly Bear’s IBYM, as was meant to take place on 5 May, has been set back to 2 Nov, with all original tickets remaining valid. Details and tickets here.
