Weekend larks (Nov 17-19)

It's all a bit spooky
TOP TIPS: Pretend you are in a Thriller video by going into Wetherspoons at three o'clock in the afternoon”.

When Mr Howard Be Thy Name (crazy name, crazy guy) organises an event you know, if you don't go, your mates will be telling you about it on Monday morning and you'll only be filled with regret.

The Carny Ball is a 70-minute musical and visual extravaganza being held at the Kazimier on Saturday night, so diarise.

It takes the form of a movie with simultaneous live performances from Zombina and the Skeletones, Jimmy Lightfoot, Lovecraft and Howard B Thy Name who also appear in the movie adventure.

Produced by Howard, aka Laird Howard Ashley Storey and Dr. Captain Lee Isserow, the audience will be further entertained by stilt walkers, freaks, magicians, fire breathers, and much more.

Hell's bells.

This is a one off, never to be repeated night of Carny fun, they say. Dress in Carnival mode. Doors open 22.00 – the fun finishes at 04.00  

Carny Ball, Kazimier, Wolstenholme Square.Saturday 19^th November at the Kazimier, Liverpool. Tickets £6 from here

Geek is the word
Club Geek Chic bills itself as the night out for Liverpool’s discerning socialites.

That may be very true, but it has been absent for, goodness, two years, so you have probably been discerning in a toilet cubicle somewhere else, you filthy little socialite beast..

Not to worry, we forgive them. Club Geek Chic creators Gemma Aldcroft and Karen Podesta have spent the last two years concentrating on their In Conversation events.

Now they have returned to their roots with a 1980s themed extravaganza and they want you down there, this Saturday night.

You should dress up for this one.

The evening’s entertainment will include Club Geek Chic’s own dance troupe ‘Hot Chrome’ , up and coming electro-pop duo Stereo Electric Mistress and superstar DJ, Che ‘The Hitman and Hair’ Burnley.  There will also be an extra treat at the end of the night to give the evening that true 80s magic, they say.

A Clockwork Orange

Erm, well: both manipulate space, both create sculpted forms. Architecture and dance come together in a dynamic way with Nirmanika, a new dance production whose name means “architectonics” in Sanskrit.
