Dina Martina: Moribund @ Soho Theatre | October 23-27 | 9.30pm | £10 – CLICK HERE FOR 50% OFF TICKETS!
Absolutely packed with ludicrous song and dance, overburdened costumes and wonderfully horrifying video, Dina Martina’s shows have become synonymous with jaw-dropping pathos and mind-blowing comedy. Unmissable, we say!
SCROTUM CLAMP @ Rhythm Factory | Wednesday, October 24 | 7.30pm | Free
We love the name of this band (which are described as ‘cabaret pantomime game-show punks’), just one of the four bands on the lineup for an ‘unapologetic riot of garage punk and surf silliness’.
White Mischief’s PHANTASMAGORIA Halloween Ball @ Scala | Saturday, October 27 | 9pm-4am | £29.99
Delightfully different multi art-form Halloween soiree. Book now to avoid disappointment.
Homotopia Liverpool / Council House Movie Star | From Tuesday, October 30 | Times Vary
Take a roadtrip to Homotopia Festival in Liverpool and discover this interactive romp.

I am Joint Editor at To Do List. I like free, cheap & offbeat London, especially: cabaret, art, theatre, pop-ups, eating out, quirky films, museums, day trips, social enterprise & much more.
