EDIT: ON MAY 1ST ..Today's idea - The Steampunk Hidden Laboratory Encounters Gentlemen's Relish

EDIT: ON MAY 1ST

Today we like the sound of the Steampunk Hidden Laboratory, which today encounters Gnetlemen's Relish. I'm currently writing about Semiotics, so am going to be cheeky and stick the Facebook event description in, which describes it equally well.

"Myself and the curator of The Gentlemen's Relish Club have teamed up to create a Frankenstein's monster of an event. We have Victorian science shows, board games, live music, artsy stripping, markets and more. And because so much is happening for this event, we decided it needed in equally long moniker. Hence, we bring to you: The Steampunk Hidden Laboratory Encounters Gentlemen's Relish! Please feel free to abbreviate as you wish

We are going the extra mile this time, so as well as having the usual melee of markets and merriments during the day, we will be opening up the theatre from 3pm, where you will find befuddled scientists giving demonstrations of some once revolutionary inventions. Record sound on wax using an Edison Phonograph, or give yourself a jolt with the Violet Wand. More details on other side shows to follow!

From 7pm we have live bands, including the inspirational Sunday Driver, Perhaps Contraptions, Brother Goat and The Henry Brothers. Of course there will also be a variety of debauchery on stage, in the forms of nudity and even pipe smoking poetry. Yes, there will be poets smoking on stage! Just like the days of old.

Tickets are available from: here.

They are £10/8, and are slightly more pricey this time because we have more performances plus the costs of entering an event into the Fringe brochure. We do want you all to come though, so if money is an object that you think will get in the way of your attendance, please get in touch, and we will find a job for you for a couple of hours before, during or after the event.

So, just to remind you all:

1st May from 3pm
The Steampunk Hidden Laboratory Encounters Gentlemen's Relish
The Marlborough Theatre Brighton"

Today's idea - Toby Whitehouse talks at The Redroaster Coffee House

Today Toby Whitehouse, English actor, comedian and screenwriter comes to the Redroaster Coffee House, home of Floetics which we occasionally bang on about. He's best known for his writing for Doctor Who, Torchwood, and Being Human. You might also recognise him as Alastair from Bridget Jones's Diary. We don't have too much information on this one, but today, if you head over to Kemptown you can catch him giving a talk and answering a Q&A session. With his history and involvement in BBC Sci Fi, it should be good. Get your question-asking thinking caps on.

It's on at 7:30pm, and ou can find the event on Facebook

Alternatively, the Marlborough Theatre is holding 'Your Country Needs You' - "dragtastic song and dance for your titillation and aural pleasure from the era which had women wearing the trousers" but we thought the talk was something a bit different. Have a good Sunday :)

Today's idea - See a showing of 'Plan 9 from Outer Space': "The worst movie ever"

Today the Marlborough Little Theatre holds Silver Wednesdays; old movies, new scene and today's is fantastic. The idea is to "deliver old timely movies, in an old timely way, with cutesy popcorn girls, competent ushers, and candle-lit tables, all within the confines of our picturesque little theatre." Ed Wood, who crops up in biographical films as made by Tim Burton, is known for for his "notably engulfing trash-films."

In this same realm, 'Plan 9 from Outer Space' has been described as "the worst movie ever" and sounds like the 50's unaware answer to the hilarious Action Sci Fi of 2001, 'Ghost of Mars'. Find the Facebook Event here and the Facebook group.

In other news, for Sciencey types this sounds great and is on tonight.
