South London Theatre presents: Dying For It by Moira Buffini Dying For It is a wildly entertaining and thought-provoking story about one mans journey to find meaning in a world that seems determined to crush him. A sharply comic tale of despair, hope, and absurdity set in Soviet Russia, the story centres on Semyon, a down-on-his-luck, unemployed man who decides he has nothing left to live for. As various parties seek to make his suicide about their cause, his crisis spirals into an absurd public spectacle and he begins to question whether his life - or death - has more value than he imagined.

Theodor join us from Germany and bring with them their Psychedelic tinged Soul to Hoots this April. Cheerful melodic bass lines and the soulful acoustic drums built the playground for the warm and dreamy keys such as farfisa organs, fender rhodes and all sorts of 80’s synthesizers - spiced by the very different yet complementary voices of Max and Lui. These guys are making a real splash, don't miss out! Presented by Hootananny Brixton. This is an 18+ event (VALID ID REQUIRED)

Tim Burgess is best known as the frontman of The Charlatans but is so much more than that, a best selling author, award winning radio show host, he has his own brand of coffee, a stage he curates at festivals around the UK, he brought his much celebrated Listening Parties to the world in 2020 and has a bursary scheme called Help Us Help Bands which has given out over £25,000 in the past couple of years. Oh, and he’s a brilliant DJ too. At 21 Tim joined and fronted The Charlatans, who went on to become one of the U.K’s most venerated and respected indie bands. The love of using soul, R&B and garage rock with later influences of acid house created their unique sound that reaped continued chart successes, worldwide tours and even support slots for The Who and the Rolling Stones. They have also collaborated with the likes of Paul Weller and Johnny Marr. As a DJ, Tim cut his teeth at the legendary Heavenly Social in London and toured with The Chemical Brothers (as well as providing vocals on a couple of their tracks). From London to New York to Stockholm, Tim knows how to keep a dance floor alive. From northern soul to hip hop, indie and everything in between, he has the innate ability to provide exactly what’s needed. Presented by Hootananny Brixton. This is an 18+ event
