COMEDY: Bruce Devlin’s Sunday Roast, Backyard Comedy Club, 6 Oct
Always grand for a reliable Sunday LOL, Scots comic Bruce Devlin’s dry roast finds him making small-talk with special guests stand-up/GQ comedy editor James Mullinger, Edinburgh Fringe critic Kate Copstick, actress and TV personality Shobna Gulati and stage star Joy Carter. Details and tickets here.

COMEDY: Jimmy Carr – Gagging Order, Hackney Empire, 6 Oct
Tax gags aside, Mr Carr is still Britain’s #1 sneering smart aleck, though highly watchable to wit. Audiences are asked to leave their sense of decency and moral compass at the gate and join ‘the same old Jimmy’ for a laugh. Details and tickets here.

Handpicked by the team at leading indie label Communion, tonight’s line-up is headlined by alt-folk Mancunians The Travelling Band, and features the Jeff Buckley-esque Paul Thomas Saunders, acoustic soloist The Lake Poets, and ragged-trousered young songwriter George Ezra (pictured). Details and tickets here.

MUSIC: Graphic Scores – Celebrating The Art Of Music, LSO St Luke’s, 6 Oct
Pianist Joanna MacGregor and a superband of UK musicians play a transatlantic programme spanning classical, experimental and jazz, creating an abstract visual score as they go. Details and tickets here.
