DON’T MISS


MUSIC Konono No 1


What is it? An avant-garde Congolese dance party. Obvs. Why go? Because they sound like no one else on the planet. These guys have been knocking around since the ’60s but only came to prominence in the mid-2000s with their sui generis sound – a mix of junkyard percussion and hypnotic Congolese grooves pumped out through distorted amps made from old car parts. à Rich Mix. Shoreditch High St Overground. Jul 30. £10.


THEATRE


Shit-Faced Shakespeare What is it?This daft theatre crew are delivering a rowdy, slimmed-down version of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’. The premise? Simple: one member of the cast gets ratted before the curtain goes up. Expect mayhem and lots of giggles. Why go?This festival favourite is cheap, cheerful and the opposite of those turgid GCSE lessons. Embrace the Bard with silliness, it’s what he would’ve wanted. Possibly. à Leicester Square Theatre. Leicester Square. Until Aug 27. From £13.


Time Out London July 5 – 11 2016


COMEDY


Nina Conti: In Your Face What is it?A new show from madcap ventriloquist and awesome improv comic Nina Conti. She may have partner-in-crime Monkey with her, but be warned: audience members will be asked to get involved. Why go?Conti has taken an incredibly uncool artform and refashioned it for contemporary audiences. And guess what? Each night is improvised, so no two shows will be the same. à Criterion Theatre. Piccadilly Circus. Sep 7-17. From £23.40.

MUSIC


Rodriguez What is it?The Detroit-born singer- songwriter has been performing since the 1960s, but it was the 2012 documentary ‘Searching for Sugar Man’ that propelled him from cult obscurity in South Africa to global stardom. Why go?Behind all the doc’s myth- making is a seasoned musician who’s honed his brand of political folk-rock for decades. Excellent music – it’s as simple as that. à London Palladium. Oxford Circus. Jul 22-23. £51.


THINGS TO DO Silent Disco at Altitude London What is it?Another event from the Altitude team. They’re inviting a 500-strong crowd into the top two floors of Westminster’s Millbank Tower, where excellent tunes will be flowing through earphones courtesy of some top DJs. Why go?Where else can you bust a few moves whilegetting a cracking view of the London Eye and Houses of Parliament at the same time? à Millbank Tower. Pimlico. Jul 22. £14.50.
