Time Out says

This former BBC theatre is far and away the best thing about Shepherd's Bush, holding 2,000 standing or 1,300 seated with decent sound everywhere (except the alcove behind the stalls bar). The Empire's gig roll puts many bigger contenders to shame: David Bowie, Kylie Minogue, Erasure, Elton John, Smashing Pumpkins and The Rolling Stones have all played here, though the most widely reported event took place on March 10 2003, when Dixie Chicks singer Natalie Maines caused uproar by declaring on stage that she was 'ashamed the President of the United States [George W Bush] is from Texas'. The Noughties, eh? What a wild time.

What’s on

James Acaster

You’ll have a job getting into any of James Acaster’s bewildering multitude of London solo shows this March, although if you’re a fan of the subversive comedy superstar – and who isn’t – then by all means sign up for a waiting list, and it looks like his Hackney Empire shows (technically in April) aren’t entirely sold out at time of writing. These dates are, apparently, a basically finished new show, just it dosn’t have a name, with the only description the delightfully flip ‘a brand new show, full of everything you love about James Acaster and more!’. But you can also catch him at the head of a frankly sensational bill at a charity gig for The Bike Project earlier in the month at the Union Chapel. At time of writing it’s not sold out and as well as Acaster you get Sophie Duker, Janine Harouni, Catherine Bohart, Olga Koch and Jack Barry on the bill.
