COMEDY: Live At The Chapel feat Paul Foot, Union Chapel, 1 Feb Silver-suited absurdist Paul Foot gives Live At The Chapel a curve-ball kick up the… um, altar, with his unique line in musings, with support from sulky stand-up Liam Williams and David Earl’s greasy alias, Brian Gittins. Details and tickets here. MUSIC: Feathers, Birthdays, 1 Feb The vision of Texan pop artist Anastasia Dimou and band, Feathers make artificially synth-sweetened pop, soft on the ears and rich in dreamy themes. Catch them celebrating the release of their new EP, ‘Only One’, and a place on Depeche Mode’s European tour c/o tonight’s cost-nothing show at Birthdays. Details here. OPERA: Don Giovanni, Royal Opera House, 1-24 Feb (pictured) The ROH’s top man for opera, Kasper Holten, masters this take on Mozart’s dark and exhilerating melodrama, in which a charismatic libertine’s rakish ways unleash “vengeance from beyond the grave”. Details and tickets here.
