At the end of May, award-winning comedian Stewart Lee is presenting a weekend of his favourite comedians and bands at Southbank Centre as part of his Austerity Binge. Highlights include a night celebrating the alternative comedy explosion of the 1980s in At Last! The 1981 Show. The night features the likes of Alexei Sayle, Nigel Planer (Neil Pye from The Young Ones), Arthur Smith, Norman Lovett, Stewart himself and many more. Definitely not one to be missed. More information and full line-up here.

The weekend also sees an eclectic mix of music ranging from folk-legend Nic Jones & special guests including Martin Carthy to 1970s punk band The Nightingales via John Cage’s Indeterminacy with Stewart Lee, Steve Beresford and Tania Chen. Rounding up the weekend we have Trembling Bells & Mike Heron with Nick Pynn on the Monday night.
We’ve put together a special Austerity Binge SPOTIFY PLAYLIST to give you a taster of the weekend’s music.
