Music
Jailhouse Jam
November 10
9pm-2am
Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club, 42-46 Pollard Row, E2 6NB
The venerable purveyor of Saturday night fun, Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club, invites you to shake a leg at Jailhouse Jam. If you’re a fan of young Elvis, Johnny Cash or even John Waters’ Cry-baby then this is your night, with the cream of real rock ‘n’ roll, a mugshot board, a jailhouse tattoo artist and even an electric chair if you want to put your feet up. Put some glamour in the slammer.

Theatre
The Fish Tales of Alaska
November 7-24
8pm
The Yard Theatre, Queen’s Yard, Hackney Wick E9 5EN
With the planet’s fish stocks increasingly under threat, ‘The Unhidden Collective’ have imagined the stories fishermen will tell once their skills are no longer needed at sea. Billed as a ‘love story’ about our relationship with the oceans, the work incorporates multiple disciplines to produce an immersive piece of theatre. Early bird tickets are only £5 each, but these go quickly so you will have to move fast if you want a bargain.
