Weirdly specific party request

Last sciencey thing I went to was 'Science and Sourcery' at the Vagina Museum. Before that was Plan your visit – Harwell Open Day 2024

I want chaos! Interesting people! Excitement and edge but no drugs. I like nerdy shy people. But I also like weird things like experimental performance art/obscure art films/dodgy music.

OK, for you and anyone else looking for weird arty stuff in London, you may want to try checking out the wriggle room on Saturday 30th:

Book Launch: Thank You For Everything. Nell Osborne, Edmund Hardy, Tom Betteridge, Poets’ Theatre. Saturday 30th November 19:00 | Hundred Years Gallery

The event includes a newly commissioned Poets’ Theatre piece (Wiggle Room Edition), written by Mau Baiocco & Nell Osborne and starring special guests. Rigorous amateurism. Under-rehearsedness. Counter-professionalism. To be missed? No.⁣


Doors 7pm for 7.30pm | £5 suggested donation (N.O.T.A.F.L.O.F.)


Nell Osborne’s Thank You For Everything is a collection of poems, appointments, wiggle rooms, self-help guides, dialogue scraps, and misery chambers. It skewers the idea of the ‘poet’s voice’ with drab ease, and then skewers itself. By turns oblique, seductive, and silly, here is a melancomic portrait of existence in 2024/5.

This thread is the best!

Do we need a 'Come and do weird stuff with me' thread? I'm always looking for more people to go to weird shit with me

I think this is basically the theme of the thread. Specifically nonspecific, if you will. I favour free or up to £10 things, would not want it to be about hot/cool tickets.

Black Holes and Bangs

Space itself is wobbly. We exist on a choppy sea, its surface roiled by disturbances caused by the movements of black holes.

I've got tickets, you can also get your Wednesday night rocks off. YMMV

I want chaos! Interesting people! Excitement and edge but no drugs. I like nerdy shy people. But I also like weird things like experimental performance art/obscure art films/dodgy music. I would imagine Berlin would tick a few of these boxes

Hard recommend for Cafe OTO in Dalston for experimental music.

Cafe OTO

<p>Performance venue for creative new music, with programme details, <em>cafe</em> and community projects.</p>

Just keep an eye on what’s on if you are planning to be in London and get a ticket if you like the sound of something. I am sometimes the oldest person there and sometimes one of the youngest, but it doesn’t matter. The staff are lovely.

This is the Bach cantatas and science talk thing I was talking about:

OAE: Bach, the Universe & Everything at Kings Place

Bach, the Universe and Everything is back with another season of celestial adventures inspired by the music of JS Bach and the amazing cosmic discoveries of the last 350 years. The scientific Enlightenment revealed that whilst space is unfathomable in its beauty and mystery, it is at the same...

Definitely can do Jan, Feb and March, not sure if I can do December date. NB, attendees must be prepared to learn a short Bach chorale and join in at the end of the cantata. If you've with me, I know what I'm doing with that stuff and sing loudly if you're reticent.
