Sorry for the delay in getting this up. Totally thought this had gone up already.  🙂 What a treat this was. As a die-hard Frank Turner fan, this was not only something very special, a dream come true and thoroughly enjoyable, but also in aid of a fantastic cause. Everything about this gig was absolutely…

The Painkiller @The Garrick Theatre, 15/03/2016
If you like slapstick and you like Rob Brydon, this play is for you. For a limited time only The Painkiller runs at The Garrick Theatre as part of their Kenneth Brannagh season. The basic storyline: contract killer meets suicidal divorcee. Sounds funny? It is! The set is split into two hotel rooms and the…

Sunny Afternoon @Harold Pinter Theatre, 01/03/2016
Oh this is definitely one of my favorite musicals so far. I love The Kinks, and the 60s in general. You can’t listen to Sunny Afternoon or Waterloo Sunset and not want to sing along or dance. The musical is all about the back story of the brothers from London. How The Kinks became such…

Hand To God @Vaudeville Theatre, 18/02/2016
Comedy is a funny thing, literally and figuratively. You never know if someone else will find the same thing as hilarious as you do, especially when you cross cultural boundaries. I have learned from living in different countries, humor can be very different and it can be difficult to explain a joke that’s laugh-out-loud funny…

The Maccabees @O2 Brixton 22/01/2016
It’s a homecoming treat for The Maccabees with three sold out shows at O2 Academy Brixton after their fourth studio album ‘Marks To Prove It’ was released just after their smashing main stage performance at Reading Festival last year.

Earlier this month London’s own Libertines returned to finish off their huge arena tour in support of their new album Anthems For Doomed Youth. And what a phenomenal return to the music stage it was. One thing can be said for sure: the band as well as the fans were equally excited for this last…

Bend It Like Beckham @Phoenix Theatre, 01/02/2016
Can we all agree that the 2002 movie with Keira Knightley is one of the best things to come out of the naughties besides Britney Spears? Even 15 years later I very much enjoy watching it. So how bad could a musical version really be? I honestly did not know what to expect. Let me…
