Today in London: Wednesday 10 July 2013
By TW Editorial | Published on Friday 5 July 2013
It’s that time again (aka Wednesday), when we all need a little assistance in scrambling over the mid-week pain barrier. Here with an ancillary culture-based hand, it’s today’s topping TW London-approved ‘whats on’ options…
TODAY’S COMEDY CHOICES
Jimmy McGhie/WitTank, Pleasance Islington, 10 Jul
As his friends have babies and buy flats, pathological kidder Jimmy McGhie is still wandering aimlessly, looking at things and “getting annoyed”. He shares his fears and ‘Delusions Of Candour’ tonight, live on stage, sharing space, if not time, with the brilliant WitTank boys. Details and tickets here.
Nick Hall/Tom Hensby, Shaker & Company, 10 Jul
Half of catchy sketch n singing act The Three Englishmen, that’s Nick Hall and Tom Hensby, hone new shows pre Edinburgh Fringe for free. Hall’s ‘Live!’, his first solo foray, is a gift to aficionados of Watford, Homebase and Tom Cruise, whilst Hensby in ‘Uncle Henry’s Happy Hour’ poses as a dodgy ex-con and wannabe millionaire with billions of trillions-spinning ideas to pitch. Details here.
