Life is strange in lockdown, but it doesn’t mean you can’t have offbeat fun in the capital and beyond.
Our list of Unmissable Things To Do in London includes learning to juggle, free offbeat magazines, a hidden gem alternative to Mae Martin’s Feel Good and more!
#1 – Learn to Juggle with Greatest Showman Mat Ricardo
How to juggle – with Mat Ricardo Youtube
Learn to juggle with these fun videos from the oh-so-suave Mat Ricardo, and you’ll be able to run away with the circus post-lockdown.
#2 – Meet Alma – BBC2’s underdog comedy heroine
Alma’s Not Normal BBC iPlayer and BBC2
A very low-key launch means you can be the first to see this touching gem of a sitcom written by and starring Sophie Willan. The show deals with some dark issues around class, sexuality, mental health and substance abuse with humour and sensitivity.
If you’re in the mood for more of this kind of autobiographical comedy, you should also try Feel Good by Mae Martin.
