This Thursday, the lineup includes Scottee, Rachel Porter, Nathan Penlington, Octavio & The Chalkwell Ladies Drum n Bass League.

Dandelion Heart | Camden People’s Theatre | 9pm | £12/10
An absurd and darkly comic play which hurls its characters across the stage, genuinely believe that they might just take flight. At its core, Dandelion Heart asks fundamental questions of the nature of humanity and being human, and why, so often, all we really want to do is run away.
They Say: Expect fantastic, expect devilishly clever, expect daredevil neartoolatelastminuteoooohhe’sgotoutjustintime escapes and japes and high quality high jinks. Expect these things, because expected, generally, happens.

Guilt & Shame: Going Straight | Hen & Chickens Theatre | 9:30pm | £9
The first preview of Guilt & Shame’s new show for 2014 – following the amazing success of 2012’s Up All Night and 2013’s Addicted To Everything.
They Say: Orgies, murders, bank robberies and boy bands. Gay virgin Rob and unstoppable womaniser Gabe have been involved in them all.

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.
