El fin. Roll Credits.

Posted 5th May 11 by Marie in News


Well, its been quite a month. We kicked off with an apology at Toynbee Cafe, yummed down George Orwell’s marmalade, played Scrabble and peeled back the curtains on infamous East End strip joint Ye Olde Axe. We tinkered with machines (and men), celebrated the birthday of King James’ best seller and spent a whole lot of time in libraries. Simon Munnery wrestled women, Chris Goode blew bubbles and a whole lot happened in between.

Dodgem Logic did a fantastic job of hosting our penultimate event at Hackney’s Round Chapel. And tonight sees the final event at Bethnal Green Working Man’s before we totter off for another year to think about what happens next.

An incredible line-up wraps things up with Tim Key, Will Adamsdale, David Trent, Bridget Christie, Thom Tuck & more. A bundle of three minute ‘indoctrinations’ hosted by Colin Hoult and featuring a very big machine, all in the style of The Prisoner. Previous knowledge of the show not required. Wear a hat if you have one.
