Stuff for you to do this week

It’s time to get really into jazz

Saxes! Trumpets! Interminable drum solos that sort of get better the more you listen to them (trust us on this one). The EFG London Jazz Festival is coming to the capital next month. It’s a big mix of more than 100 online and real-life performances, with names being added to the mega-bill all the time. You might want to get
booking now, pal.

The best of the rest:

Twinkle toes An exhibition about superstar dancer and choreographer Michael Clark has chasséd its way into the Barbican. Prepare for flashing lights, loud music and some fancy footwork.

Sound the alarm Drive in and watch Daniel Radcliffe attempt to escape a South African prison in ‘Escape from Pretoria’ from the comfort of your own car. Get there early for a pre-screening Q&A sesh with director Francis Annan.

Have a laugh Al Murray kicks off a season of comedy at Ally Pally this Thursday. Indoor gigs are finally back, why not celebrate by chuckling along with Big Al.
