Harry, My Cat Died | The Good Ship | 6pm | £6
They Say: “The stages of grief are many. When coping with the loss of a close one, some people get emotional. Others seek comfort in religion. Sometimes, people turn to drink. Others like to tell Harry out of One Direction.
Join Professor Stephen Frizzle from the Harry, My Cat Died Research Centre as he presents the results and findings of a year-long psychological study. Who are these “Directioners” who devote their time in trying to get Styles’ attention? Why does Harry need to know when there is a dead cat in the world? Is sending a photo of your just-then dead grandma really an effective tool in getting Harry to like you? And just how scary IS a cactus?”

I am Joint Editor at To Do List. I like: nice pubs, film marathons, not doing real marathons, bad comedy, plays/musicals with shorter second halves, and the Oxford comma.
