Weirdly specific party request

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:

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.
 
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.

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

Hard recommend for Cafe OTO in Dalston for experimental music.


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:


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. :D
 
If you fancy a night in Brixton, Hootananny is pretty good for live bands and late drinking with a big outdoor area open till 3am.

Next door is the Effra Social where I DJ to a happy young crowd (below) on Friday nights till 1am. It's free to get in too.

A short distance away in this Brixton Windmill where there's always interesting bands.
Brixton Bass at the hoot is fantastic, I try to get to each one. Average age I’d say is about 35. Cheap tickets, amazing line ups, (Dillinger, brokie, jumping Jack Frost etc) the great thing about the hoot is that the garden is QUIET so with friends it’s a perfect mix of dirty drum and bass and catching up. Will try and find the next one.

This made me think you'd fit in with those Medieval reenactment types who do swordfights in the woods.

I know the kind of thing you mean and even though I don’t like the idea of battles in the woods, I have done similar peaceful reenactment activities for fun even though I didn’t realise exactly that was what I was doing… I know some musicians who dress medievally and I just love it when they invite people to a wooded area to see their performances. That genre of music: indie medieval, that’s actually a favourite of mine. I do own a couple of swords too but they are for decorative purposes and will be sold soon as they belong to a boat I used to own with my ex. We did pretend we were from the long ago past a lot with that boat.
