Dave Gorman’s Screen Guild | Hackney Attic | 7.30pm | £12
A monthly night of comedy curated by Dave Gorman, accompanied by his laptop and a big screen.
Dave Says: I started it because I knew there was no other way of me trying out new stuff and while I had no idea at the time, the first five show run generated pretty much all the material that became the show, Dave Gorman’s Powerpoint Presentation and the second run generated a lot of the material for the series, Modern Life Is Goodish so it’s turned out to be something that is not just fun, for me, but also bloody useful.

Starring James Franco | The Rag Factory | 7.30pm | From £5
An interrogation of fame; how we idolise it, how we hunger for it and how we loath it.
They Say: This comically absurd performance makes use of propagandist, foreign , antiquated, irrelevant and experimental music, as well as silly dances and letters addressed to James Franco to create a performance style that is both humorous and sinister. A combination of failure and absurdism presented on stage creates a world between performance, event and reality.

10000 Peacock Feathers in Foaming Acid by Evelina Dominitch & Dmitry Gelfand | Ace Hotel, Shoreditch | 5pm | FREE
They Say: Domnitch and Gelfand use laser light to scan the surfaces of nucleating and dissipating soap bubble clusters. Unlike ordinary light, the laser’s focused beam is capable of crawling through the micro and nano structures within a bubble’s skin. When aimed at specific angles, this penetrating light generates a large-scale projection of molecular interactions as well as mind-boggling phenomena of non-linear optics. Bubble behaviors viewed in such proximity evoke the dynamics of living cells (the lipid membranes of which, are direct chemical descendants of soap film).

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.
