THIS WEEK IN CULTURE + THE CULTURE BUSINESS
2 Feb: Simon Munnery, Burrows & Fargion and a Malcolm Hardee gala
And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…
COMEDY: Ten Years On – The Malcolm Hardee Show | Up The Creek | 2 Feb
While Malcolm Hardee, alternative comic anti-icon and the formiddable boss of the Tunnel Club, may have died ten years back; his anarchic legacy still lives on in events like this one, which is going ahead to raise money for an in-development documentary on Hardee by Adamotions. The show features the likes of the all-new Greatest Show On Legs, Bob Slayers, Joz Norris, Jayde Adams, Cheekykita and a liberal sprinkling of secret big names. Details and tickets here.
COMEDY: Simon Munnery – Fylm School | Soho Theatre | 2 Feb (pictured)
Serial innovator and cinema know-all Simon Munnery acts as host and fylm director as he invites a reel of temping comedians (in this case Phill Jupitus and Brian Gittins) funniest, to play with a camera, projector and screen for a night of live film-based comic schooling. Details and tickets here.
MUSIC: Burrows & Fargion — One Flute Note & Body Not Fit For Purpose | Sadler’s Wells, Lilian Baylis Studio | 2-3 Feb
Choreographer Jonathan Burrows and composer Matteo Fargion, whose ‘thing’ is to clash the formality of classical music with an open approach to performance, collaborate on a pair of works; pensive, memory-themed piece ‘One Flute Note’ and political commission ‘Body Not Fit For Purpose’. Details and tickets here.
