Whether you like comedy, art, shopping or music (or all four!), then there’s something for you this weekend on the East London Line.
Thursday September 22: Live At Wilton’s Comedy
Enjoy a comedy evening in the atmospheric grandeur of Wilton’s Music Hall, one of London’s oldest music halls. Featuring jaw-achingly funny comedians, on the bill this week are panel-show regular Lucy Porter, award-winning trio Pappy’s plus Joel Dommett and Ivan Brackenbury, all compered by hilarious New Zealand comic, Jarred Christmas. We’re laughing just thinking about it!
