Monday, 9 March
Bethnal Green Working Men's Club, 42 Pollard Road, Bethnal Green, E2 6NB
Comedy: , Music
How Much:
£8.00 (Entry)
As part of the London Word Festival, funnyman Phill Jupitus and East End scribbler Tim Wells are putting on a comfy 'evening in' on the sofa as they open up their Aladdin's Cave of vinyl rarities and escort the audience on a trip down memory lane.
While it may sound a tad self-indulgent and more about music than comedy, we reckon it will be a funny evening nevertheless. Joining them on the sofa and behind the mic, punk legend and respected soundtrack composer Barry Adamson (Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Magazine, Bad Seeds) performs his London-centric short story Maida Hell. Leftfield fiction writer Amy Prior reads from Slumber Party, her latest release which is inspired by 70s Disney 'book-and-record' sets and Travis Elborough, author of The Long-Player Goodbye, will trawl through the history of the LP.
