Variety. The spice of life. well, it’s certainly putting the spice into Bethnal Green.

Bang Said The Gun spent an excellent night at The Popcorn Club last Friday, for an evening of Cabaret, headed up by our old chum, Chris Lynam and Kate McKenzie who we don’t know but deserves a mention.

It’s a car crash of circus, music, dance, crazy humour and crazy popcorn. Here’s what to do. Open your diary at March 19th and write this down. Brilliantly fresh, surreal night out. Then just go.

Popcorn Club at Rich Mix, 35-47 Bethnal green Road. E1

A fortnightly comedy extravaganza starring only the most experienced and hilarious comedians on the London comedy circuit.

Given that we are 98% water, am I the only person worried about turning into a block of ice?

Dan and I are having a top level lunch tomorrow with legendary stand up comedian..er .. best keep his name under wraps at the moment. Anyway, were keen to move stand up comedy on, or at least sideways, by putting together a whole new type of evening. It will still retain the Bang Said The Gun spirit, but we want to come up with something fresh. High on the agenda is an evening of variety but do you have any suggestions? Dan is currently learning to play the musical saw.
