Theatre

Milton Jones: Ha!Milton

Rose Theatre, Kingston, 25 April

A new show from the popular comedian. With his signature quirky flair and razor-sharp wit, Milton Jones has been delighting crowds with his brilliant wordplay and off-the-wall humour—and HA!MILTON promises to be his most hilarious show yet.

Food

Cher Thai

Clapham

This small, family-run restaurant in Old Town is one of Clapham’s best-kept secrets, home to some of the best Thai food that London has to offer.  Their noodle dishes are to die for, particularly the yellow curry noodle soup cooked with coconut milk and oil noodle, beansprout, spring onion, fried shallot and lime, served with a choice of chicken, beef, vegetables, tofu, prawn or duck. It’s also a favourite of long-time Clapham resident Miriam Margolyes!
