It's our Summer Party. Come along and enjoy some books, booze, chat and chill.
These events are always great chaotic fun.
We are hosting the All Good Comedy Club. The Comedy Club show-cases of some of the most exciting rising stars of London’s vibrant, contemporary circuit. Come & check out some of London’s emerging comedy talent, while they’re still fresh, eager and cheap. The comedy starts at 7.30pm.
For the next in this series of art exhibitions in the new gallery space here at the shop, and available to view all through this month, we're delighted to present NAVEL DRAGGERS - a joint show of collage and mixed media art by Andrew Ciccone and Andrew Rowe. The launch party will include a performance. Free.
Join storyteller Laurence Ashcroft for a unique chance to hear one of the oldest and greatest stories humanity ever told - THE EPIC OF GILGAMESH. Taking place over three consecutive Friday nights here at the shop (Aug 9th, 16th and 23rd) and featuring a live soundtrack by local sound artist Sam Enthoven, this summer is going to be epic.
£10 on the door or book all three parts for the special advance price of £20.
Join critic and author Bram E. Gieben for a reading from his debut book, The Darkest Timeline, from Revol Press. A collection of critical essays that trace the outlines of our dystopian present and our increasingly impossible futures, the book explores apocalyptic themes in literature, film, theory and hard science in an attempt to answer the question... are we in the darkest timeline? The reading will be followed by a short Q&A and book signing.
Like Black Mirror on steroids, The Darkest Timeline issues 9 vignettes of doom in the form of theoretical essays that outline not the likelihood, but the certainty of our demise as a species. Taking into account an array of apocalyptic modalities, Bram E. Gieben shows us with sardonic wit and erudition that there may be no silver lining. We are left to choose how to countenance our demise. The moment for bleak critical theory capped off with a wistful longing and silver linings has passed: "... it is time to stop imagining alternate worlds, and confront whatever monsters are lurking in the basement."

Do you like retro video games? So do we!
On the back of our board games afternoon, we realised there's a few of us who love the classic days of gaming. So we'll bring some classic consoles and games, and feel very free to bring your own.
Whether you want to play, show and tell, or just have some drinks and chat about classic video games, come join us!
At the very least, we'll have a PlayStation Classic, an N64 and a Japanese DreamCast up and running, along with anything you want to bring.
This is a free event, but if you'd be up for donating a fiver to the shop, that'd be lovely.
Join us for the return of the All Good Bookshop Spoken Word Night!
