TODAY’S COMEDY CHOICES
Sarah Kendall – Get Up, Stand Up, Soho Theatre, 5-9 Feb
The always comically-plush Soho Theatre lends its main stage to the ThreeWeeks-lauded, Edinburgh Comedy Award-nominated Sarah Kendall, who’ll be advocating girls’ lib, spotlighting an over-sexed media (and sexuality itself), and above all, being very hilarious whilst doing it. Tickets and details here.
TODAY’S MUSIC CHOICES
Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Cargo, 5 Feb
With a new LP titled ‘II’ to promote, unquantifiable NZ psych band Unknown Mortal Orchestra are back with a new set of such lo-fi tracks as ‘So Good At Being In Trouble’, a slow-mo perversion of Stevie Wonder’s ‘Sir Duke’. Details and tickets here.
TODAY’S THEATRE CHOICES
A Chorus Line, London Palladium, 5 Feb – 29 Jun (pictured)
Bob Avian injects new pep into his late collaborator Michael Bennett’s Pullitzer Prize-winning ‘musical within a musical’. This is ‘One (Singular Sensation)’ that’s sure to do big (show)business at the Palladium. Ahem. And now to a very basic casting summary: West End starlet (and sister-of-Summer) Scarlett Strallen stars as aspiring Broadway starlet Cassie, whilst ex-‘Eastender’ John Partridge plays formidable theatre impressario Zach. Details and tickets here.
Fiesta (The Sun Also Rises), Studio 2 at Trafalgar Studios, 5 Feb – 2 Mar
This new stage adaptation of Hemingway’s rioja and matador-featuring love-drama is live scored by jazz band Trio Farouche. Attractive actor/actresses Josie Taylor, Gideon Turner, Jye Frasca and Jack Holden star. Details and tickets here.
