Soho Theatre is the perfect cherry on top to an inexpensive night out in the west end. One of its mother figures, The Edinburgh Fringe, passes on some rollicking comedy talent each year and I personally rely on the venue to put on stuff I didn’t manage to see up in Scotland, and stuff I […]
I’m no fashionista. And I don’t look to celebs for guidance either… I’m more likely to follow the tastefully put together outfits on the assistants in American Apparel and stallholders on Brick Lane than the folk on TV. That silly attitude paired with my own fashion sense equals wardrobe dyslexia. I dress for comfort; soft denims, leggings, […]
Happy New Year. And Cheer up. The holidays may be over but there’s loads to look forward to: Famous and Fearless , The US X Factor, Beckham’s joining Spurs, and there’s only a year left till The Shard’s completion. Oh, and only 18 months to wait until East London is transformed into a tracksuit infested […]
‘I love Christmas don’t you?’ ‘Certainly do mate. It’s SATSUMA-tastic!’ ‘It’s midnight mass-mongous- mate isn’t it, in a bowl of nuts you’ve never eaten-tabulous kind of way!’
There’s something a bit Caleb KOL about 25 year old Alex Clare to whom the Guardian refers as “a nice Jewish lad from South-West London” How refreshing. His new tune Up All Night is p-r-i-t-t-y nice and can be heard, nay just heard, but watched, here. I told you it was good. We like Alex’s voice […]
I HATE blog posts that start like this but … “Recently I was on the tube” standing directly over a man in his fifties. He was sitting down. I first noticed him because he practically stabbed a well-dressed woman in the tits with his briefcase to get a seat. After that, I didn’t dare do […]
…I have a bit of a thing for Simon Amstell. And I’m not ashamed. Before this gets mis-construde, it’s not sexual. In fact, far from it. It’s almost certainly to do with something we have in common. That is, I suspect, similar upbringings (jewish, bonkers mothers, laid-back to near horizontal dads etc) and in our […]
Mike Leigh is easy. That’s why we like him. Love, death, family, warmth, humour – are indeed the fabric of everyday life and the nuts and bolts of his award-winning films, best served to a family bunched together on a three-seater sofa after a blazing row. Leigh makes films for humans, meaningful because they are […]
There are so many ways to piss off the british public… There’s taking part in a reality show, setting fire to something older than 1900, chucking a cat in a bin when no-one’s looking, or if you’re aiming for Bleakley-esq hate, appearing on every TV show in existence. But, honestly, you needn’t try so hard. […]
