Sophie Duker: Venus
Sophie Duker brings her five-star Edinburgh Fringe hit to the Soho Theatre – in August we called it “a riotous challenge to the straight white male-dominated comedy scene – with twerking”, and we’re sticking by it!

Bar Wotever
The RVT hosts this selection box of live music, cabaret, drag, performance art, burlesque and spoken word: basically, anything can happen, and probably will.

The Mail Centre Takeover
A former Royal Mail delivery office in the rapidly developing Nine Elms becomes – for 12 days only – home to two must-see art installations. ‘Of All The People In All The World’, by Stan’s Cafe, celebrates the Mayflower’s 400-year anniversary, with 6.7 tonnes of rice representing the combined populations of the UK and the USA. Meanwhile, Matthew Harrison’s ‘The Actual Reality Arcade’ lets you try out 10 life-sized classic arcade games.

Waves
Trey Edward Shults (2017’s ‘It Comes at Night’) directs an excellent ensemble cast in this “heartrending story about the universal capacity for compassion and growth even in the darkest of times”. January can be a time of the year for movie studios to quietly release their duds, but Waves bucks that trend.

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.
