Music, Entertainment & Comedy with Victoria Nangle
1 In 1992 Dynamite Boogaloo was born.
25 years later Boogaloo Stu, Dolly Rocket and Sal are adorning themselves with their brightest of gladrags for a heady cocktail of pop tunes and daft cabaret, playing to a flamboyant, fun-loving polysexual crowd.
The Old Market, Friday 3 November, 9pm, £12/10
2 With songs firmly set in the hum drum of everyday life, The Lovely Eggs turn normality on its head, squeezing it through their peculiar surreal mincing machine and blending it with fuzzed out guitar and crashing drums.
The Haunt, Friday 3 November, 7.30pm, £9
3 Spectacular spectacle in all its bombastic glory – WWE Live brings you the chance to see some of your favourite WWE Superstars live and in action. Don’t forget to gargle beforehand as you’ll be shouting yourself horse at the likes of Enzo Amore, Jason Jordan, RAW Women’s Championship Fatal Five Way Match including Sasha Banks and Nia Jax… and many many more.
Brighton Centre, Thursday 2 November, 7.30pm, from £33.45
4 If there’s one thing this part of the country knows how to do, it’s celebrate Guy Fawkes Night. Do it in funky style with the English Disco Lovers Fireworks Ball, mixing superb classics with underground disco and classic house music, plus loads of glitter and a good sense of humour. Expect inclusively and for things to go with a bang all night.
Komedia, Friday 3 November, 11pm–3am, £8
5 After being so busy with all of that telly work hosting Your Face Or Mine with Jimmy Carr, and How’d You Get So Rich? on her own, as well as turning up on 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown and other fun places, Katherine Ryan is back on the road and behind the mic with a brand new stand up show – ‘Glitter Room’. Tightly written and masterfully executed, see exactly why it is that Ryan’s star has risen so brightly in the last few years.
Brighton Dome Concert Hall, Thursday 2 November, 8pm, £18.50
6 Promising music, comedy and revolutionary socialism, multi-award-nominated comic Josie Long is joined by musical comedy duo Jonny & The Baptists (as heard on BBC Radio 4’s The Now Show) and acclaimed protest musician Grace Petrie for an evening known as ‘Lefty Scum’. You don’t have to be left-wing to enjoy the show, but you may find any right-leaning ideas ridiculed wholeheartedly.
The Old Market, Wednesday 1 November, 7.30pm, £12.50/10
