A great evening at the Marlowe Theatre, spent with #StewartLee dressed as a werewolf (plus prosthetic penis) and the liberal

An expertly crafted, hilarious and surreal journey through the mind of one of the sharpest alt-comedy greats.
RIP Robert Duvall: as central to American film as anyone in his generation
Mackenzie Crook is a genius.
This delivers everything you would expect from such a talent; human observation, empathy, tragedy, realism and warmth accompanied an evocative soundtrack.

Their music is consistently mesmerising. First saw the ‘beautiful ones’ at Brixton Academy in ‘93 & last seen at the Southbank in Sept. Suede have that rare gift for creating life-affirming timeless gems plus B side classics!
Happy birthday to Sade. This may also be the coolest thing you see today. Watch the full recording at youtu.be/Ks9g5eYMahg
