Mick Flannery is playing the Lexington in Islington on 10th September, tickets only £12, bargain!

S.M.B. · 05-08-2013 10:52pm

Has anyone been to/heard much about Punch Drunks The Drowning Man?

Or has anyone seen/done any of the recent immersive theatre in the city?

Fysh · 06-08-2013 9:50am

Further to my previous post upthread: if anyone's interested in catching The Reduced Shakespeare Company's Complete Works Of Shakespeare (Abridged) at the Leicester Square Theatre, there's an Amazon Local deal today offering tickets for £15 instead of the face value of £27.50.

Just in case anyone's interested, Waterford band O Emperor are playing in the Selbright Arms in Bethnal Green on Saturday 7th September at 8pm. Tickets are only £8 and are sale online at the link below.

http://www.seetickets.com/Event/O-EMPEROR/Sebright-Arms/722495

They're highly thought of at home but are less well know over here so would be good to get some support. Their first album was nominated for a Choice Music Award for Best Irish Album and they've supported Mumford & Sons on tour and played numerous festivals over the past few years.

Myself and the other half are planning to be there, so if you're coming along let us know.

Two suggestions here!
Ive been setting myself challenges to attend an event/class/activity once a week to push myself. I joined a brilliant night in Bethnal Green for nerdy people like myself called I LOVE LISTS. Also in Kings Cross.
http://jessindeedy.com/i-love-lists/

Honestly, it was such fun, guys and girls there with cheesy prizes and all thinigs list-y!

Then I did the weirdest thing ever last night, in Hackney, as mentioned in last weeks Time Out magazine. Titled: No Lights No Lycra, it's basically and hour of dancing around in the dark to some tracks, 'losing yourself', getting fit and all that jazz. No drugs or alcohol were involved but I had my suspicions. On weekly, £4, Hackney!

They will love you. Ill let you in on a secret; they give prizes for best list maker and best doodler..I won a 1D stationery set! Seriously, it's so sad it's good! And everyone there gets excited over Sharpie markers so you really feel part of the gang.

S.M.B. · 28-08-2013 1:41pm

2.8 Hours Later anyone?

The cross city zombie chase game is back. You find yourself in a world of quarantine, of borders and murder. 4 years after the original outbreak, the government has regained control but at what cost? Brutal security, corrupt officials, vigilante mobs and scavengers seep out of the cracks in the police state. When the infection returns, and the government can no longer contain it, what will you do to survive? Who will you leave behind? Can you make it to Asylum?

Asylum is an adrenaline fuelled cinematic experience like no other, catapulting you to the heart of the zombie action. You will make choices and sacrifices that {will} determine whether you and your friends survive. Honed by the latest bio-technology and a year in the making, Asylum is the only street game of it's size and reputation in the world.

A Politically charged, gore filled, roller coaster ride of fear that will thrill newcomers and fans alike. Come Play.

I know people who are going on the evening I plan on heading off on my holidays.

Early bird tickets are all gone now so it's a sizeable £40 a ticket.

frag420 · 28-08-2013 2:50pm

HI folks,

Just a heads up but The Oddsocks are playing the o2 in Islington on Sat Sep 7th and The Bugaloo in Highbury the following night. These guys are from Sligo and play an epic blend of funk, blues and rock. Have seen them several times(their halloween shows are legendary) and always have a blast!!

Hope to see some of you there

That sounds really cool! I was outside the station a few weeks ago for the Holi Festival of Colour and that was the last event to be held on the grounds.

S.M.B. · 02-09-2013 7:39pm

Surely that'll be a nightmare to get into.

Looks like we have a posse so.

I reckon the thing to do is get there about half an hour before the opening time and see if there's already a massive queue/total chaos. If there is, we go and do something else. If not, we're there early and have beaten any crowds that show up later!

silvervixen84 · 03-09-2013 8:02pm

On what day are we going?

Reekwind · 03-09-2013 9:33pm

Have to say that the 22 Sept would suit me best

83ste · 03-09-2013 11:58pm

I would prefer the 21st but could do the morning of the 22nd either.

LadyMayBelle · 04-09-2013 9:06am

Ye can count me in too, either day.

exiledelbows · 04-09-2013 10:00am

Might be up for this too

fluke · 04-09-2013 10:43am

either day for me

Will probably be here for both, round the corner from Mornington Crescent tube and 5 minute walk from Camden Town and 7 from Camden Road. They have RTE and it's always good craic.

you don't happen to work there do you??!

exiledelbows · 05-09-2013 9:31am

No. I do recommend the place a lot but only because I like it, as does anyone I've brought there, English or Irish.

silvervixen84 · 05-09-2013 10:57am

Anyone want to go see Mick Flannery in The Lexington next Tuesday (10 Sep)?

Cheetara · 05-09-2013 1:10pm

\o/ Neil Delamere!

Anyone else going?

Woden · 13-09-2013 12:22pm

Picked up a couple for the Friday 11th. Cheers

silvervixen84 · 13-09-2013 4:23pm

The Neil Delamere one is the only one I'm interested in. Saw him years ago in Cork and he surprised me with how funny he is in stand up!

Edit: Went ahead and bought one for the 11th.

Fysh · 13-09-2013 9:26pm

Anyone else heading to the Anamanaguchi All-Dayer on Sunday at the Garage? I don't know if I'm actually arsed about heading along for the entire lineup (I bought tickets purely to see Anamanaguchi 'cos it's unlikely I'll get many chances to see them live) but the soundcloud link the organisers sent out has me thinking that I should make the effort to get along for jonny foreigner's set and Axes as well...

Scarinae · 27-09-2013 3:51pm

Oh no

I've just agreed to met my old flatmate on Wednesday (not the flatmate of horror, the nice one) and I feel I can't really cancel because we've been trying to arrange to meet up for about two months. I demand rockaoke again soon though!
