THIS WEEK IN CULTURE + THE CULTURE BUSINESS
Today in London: Monday 13 May 2013
In light of today’s whimsical day du jour, we at TW London have leapfrogged London’s cultural lily pad to bring you this croaking (sorry) comical/musical/theatrical triple bill…
TODAY’S COMEDY CHOICES
Balls To Homelessness feat Tony Law/Milton Jones/Romesh Ranganathan/Carl Donnelly, Comedy Store Picadilly, 13 May
A team of pro comics play for away-laughs in aid of Homeless FA, with Tony Law, Milton Jones, Romesh Ranganathan and Carl Donnelly all hoping to score big in the hilarity-for-charity game tonight. Details and tickets here.
TODAY’S MUSIC CHOICES
CSS, Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen, 13 May (pictured)
Crazy Brazilian band CSS, who back in 2005 asked the world if it wanted to ‘Make Love And Listen To Death From Above’, are now an all-girl quartet and bang into black turbans. With this (and their new LP ‘Planta’) in mind, they’ll be playing tonight at the Hoxton Square Bar, which is also a Kitchen. Details and tickets here.
TODAY’S THEATRE CHOICES
The Incomers, Pleasance Theatre, 13-18 May
As-heard-on-BBC-6music scribe Murray Lachlan Young‘s new play, as is written entirely in verse, peals back the social facades of its characters in a way that’ll have you (says its PR) “gasping and roaring with laughter” at the same time, as rural marrieds Gordon and Celia invite Londoners Zach and Julia to celebrate their wedding anniversary, little guessing it’ll unravel into a night of revelation, shock and intrigue. Details and tickets here.
