Brighton Lights: What to do in the city – w/c 17th October
Music, Entertainment & Comedy with Victoria Nangle
1 Time to shake your thang and get on down with some classic actually living legends – Suzi Quatro, David Essex, The Osmonds and Hot Chocolate all on for one night and rocking Brighton’s seafront.
Brighton Centre, Sat 21 Oct, 7.30pm, from £50.15
2 Storytelling is something of a Texas tradition. Tall hats and even taller tales are woven into the fabric of The Lone Star State, and singer-songwriter, Jarrod Dickenson can spin a yarn with the best of them. With support from Cariad Harmon.
Latest MusicBar, Tuesday 17 Oct, 7.30pm, £10
3 Rebel against those longer nights with fun and frivolity, not to mention love, betrayal, comic relatives and marital disputes at An Evening Of Gilbert & Sullivan. Light opera with a sense of humour, the programme includes Act 1 from The Pirates Of Penzance, as well as favourites from other G&S operas. All performed by former members of the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company.
Ropetackle, Shoreham, Thurs 19 Oct, 7.30pm, £16
4 Journalist, television presenter and best-selling author Ned Boulting has timed his show ‘Bikeology’ impeccably, with its arrival in Brighton so soon after the launch of the public bike scheme. Featuring brand new tales from life in the cycling lane, as well as the inside scoop from his time at the 2017 Tour de France.
Theatre Royal Brighton, Sunday 22 October, 7.30pm, from £24.15
5 The Living Legend himself, Nick Helm delivers some home truths about life, love and how not to be an ass. Titled ‘There Is Nothing You Can Do To Me That I Have Not Already Done To Myself’, in characteristic underdog fashion, the larger than life damaged almost rock-god and comedian leaves audiences stunned and rocked with humour every time. The show has already sold out, but if you can beg, borrow or steal a ticket (or pick up that rarity of a return) get yourself along on Thursday to shake the chill off your boots in style.
Komedia, Thursday 19 October, 8pm, £12
6 After a rousing success on Taskmaster – even occasionally breaking out of being grumpy to have fun – Paul Chowdhry is back on the road doing what he does best: stand-up comedy. Chowdhry’s new show is called ‘Live Innit’, serving up dry and wry observations on life as he sees it.
Connaught Theatre, Worthing, Friday 20 October, 8pm, £21.50
