Every day
Young Vic · The Cut
Nigeria, 2014: three teenage best friends swap notes on celebrities and dodge carbs until militant insurgents kidnap them. Directed by Ewa Dina, Theresa Ikoko's play explores friendship under fire at the Maria Theatre.
November 12 at 6:15pm
The British Library · Euston Rd. • £ 10-£ 12.5
Celebrate a true underground legend as the British Library unveils Roger Ely's archive of counterculture history. Start with a panel on his radical legacy, then dive into a cabaret of films and performances by his collaborators.
November 12 at 7pm
Union Chapel · Compton Terrace
Irish comic Mike Rice brings his dark, self-deprecating stand-up to Union Chapel, a working Victorian Gothic church where punchlines bounce off stained glass. Wickedly funny hour in a genuinely breathtaking room.
November 11 at 7pm +61
Gillian Lynne Theatre · Drury Ln
Giant breathing puppets and visible operators bring Studio Ghibli's forest spirit to life on stage. Audiences attend the Royal Shakespeare Company adaptation at the Gillian Lynne Theatre, featuring the iconic soundtrack and the massive Catbus.
November 11 at 2pm +83
Kit Kat Club at the Playhouse Theatre · Northumberland Ave
The Playhouse Theatre disappears and Berlin's Kit Kat Club takes its place: complimentary schnapps, roaming performers, and a stage in the round for this seven-time Olivier winner. Dark, dazzling, and devastating.
November 11 at 7:30pm +61
Trafalgar Theatre · Whitehall • from £29.27
Unrequited yearning, alcoholism and suppressed desires abound as Mary Todd Lincoln navigates the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln’s assassination in Cole Escola’s one-act dark comedy at the Trafalgar Theatre.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.

Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
