By TW Editorial | Published on Wednesday 27 February 2013
As it’s Dentist’s Day – an international occasion we can all join in with (given floss, a white coat and Novocaine) – what time as apt as this to drill into London’s fresh and clean cultural enamel?
So let’s do this…

Russell Brand plays crimson-schnozzed anchorman at this night of Comic Relief-themed charitable comic stylings. Eddie Izzard, Simon Amstell, Frankie Boyle, Jimmy Carr, Noel Fielding and Jason Manford will arrange the laughs; while Paloma Faith, Noel Gallagher, Kasabian and bald-popstar-to-be Jessie J – who’s shaving her hair off on Red Nose night – will play a songbook of popular pop hits.

TODAY’S FESTIVAL CHOICES
Pioneers Of Electronic Music Festival, various venues, 6-17 Mar

TODAY’S THEATRE CHOICES
Lysistrata, Riverside Studios, 6-23 Mar
