Comedy? In this economy? Well I don’t know about you, but I could sure do with a good chuckle. So it’s a good thing that the Sydney Comedy Festival is back with its biggest program ever in 2024 – more than 750 artists are gearing up to flood the city with laughter at more than 315 shows scattered across all corners of the city (from April 22 – May 19).  You can expect laughs of all shapes and sizes, from musical comedy to stand-up acts.With comedians coming from around the globe to entertain us in addition to a swathe of local jokesters, our Arts & Culture Editor Alannah Le Cross has pulled together some recommendations and grouped them by vibe (because we love a theme!).  Not sure where to start? Our top tip is to check out a Comedy Gala or Showcase, that way you'll get to see a dozen or more acts in one go (including some of the big names). Did you know that there's also several hubs of festival action throughout the city?  Photograph: Supplied/SCF | Sydney Comedy Festival Gala at the Enmore Theatre The Factory Theatre in Marrickville remains a major hub for the festival, with four different stages hosting heaps of shows every night, and the beer garden in the middle makes for a great place to hang out before and after back-to-back shows. A brisk walk from the Factory, Newtown’s legendary Enmore Theatre hosts huge shows in the main theatre, as well as the smaller wine bar stage and a couple more little rooms hidden upstairs. You could also technically back up shows at th

Sunday, May 14, 2023: Mother's Day. The one day of the year that mums are supposed to be recognised for all their hard work. Is one day really enough? Probably not, but we'll save that gripe for another time.  Most of us know that going to lunch with the family can be a stressful affair, particularly if you've forgotten to make a reservation, dad's freaking out at the price of wine these days and mum's insisting no one make a fuss. Which is why it's so handy that a bunch of Sydney's top restaurants have taken the guesswork out of the day by offering extra-special tasting menus – so all you have to do is show up and avoid talking about politics while they take care of the rest.

We’ve weathered the rough Covid times, but there’s no denying that the pandemic has hit our underprivileged communities hard. While we have all suffered in one way or another, there are some individuals who are undoubtedly facing more challenges than others. If you’d like to do your part and help out – whether it’s investing some time to care for a lonely elderly person or serving up a hot meal for the hungry – here are a few ways you can show Hongkongers in need that love and the Lion Rock spirit is still alive and well in our society.  RECOMMENDED: If you haven’t bought a Mother’s Day present yet, here are the best florists and flower shops in Hong Kong – you can thank us later.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that L.A.'s Vietnamese food scene has nothing on the culinary diversity of Orange County, but that doesn't mean you necessarily need to drive all the way to Westminster's Little Saigon for an amazing bowl of pho or a great bowl of bun (rice vermicelli). Sure, we may not have the culinary riches of Garden Grove or Fountain Valley, but L.A. County more than holds its own thanks to the San Gabriel Valley, where many immigrant-run Vietnamese shops offer amazing regional specialties you won't find at your standard neighborhood pho shop.  In general, as with Chinese cuisine, L.A.'s best Vietnamese joints pointedly skew suburban, from the deep recesses of the San Fernando Valley to the inland South Bay. Across these less densely populated regions of Los Angeles, you'll come across hard-to-find delicacies that will transport you to the streets of Saigon, Hanoi and Hue, Central Vietnam's major culinary powerhouse. While researching this guide, I came across plenty of new-to-me delights, including several outstanding varieties of goi cuon (literally, "salad roll"), the freshly wrapped rice paper rolls that offer so much more than shrimp or tofu with a side of peanut sauce.Still, not all of us live in these neighborhoods, or are willing to spend 45 minutes to an hour driving for a meal—so we've tracked down the best of the more centrally located options from the Westside to Downtown L.A. We even found the best vegan and vegetarian options among L.A

The Southbank Centre will transform into a shimmying, salsa-ing celebration on the first weekend of August, thanks to a curated collaboration in partnership with FLAWA (Festival of Latin American Women in the Arts). Everyone will be invited to participate and learn more about the diversity and variety of Latin-American culture, and there will be three brilliant events to do so. Latinas Presente on the Friday will feature an array of live performances to get yourself moving for the weekend, LatinXtravaganza will be family-friendly shows and chances to dance well into the evening on the Saturday, and on the Sunday, it’s time for ¡Aquí Estamos! We Are Here!, a collection of more Latin American Music and DJs. Bailemos!

Another of the Southbank Centre’s enticing weekend takeovers is courtesy of ESEA Unseen, a duo of two neurodiverse multi-media artists, Kim Chin and Sue Man.

Italian neorealism is one of the most prevalent post-war cinematic movements, and this season is centred around the re-release of Robert Rossellini’s Rome, Open City (1945) which is considered the very first example. The film follows a Resistance leader and his attempts to flee Nazi rule, set in 1944. But as with any great film fest, they’ll be insight from some experts, too. Guest speakers will explore the impact various women have had on the movement, in front of and behind the camera, at ‘The Women of Italian Neorealism’ on June 4, and the entire second half of the season will focus on work from the early ‘50s, with films such as Miracle in Milan (a fantasy comedy about an orphaned boy who is raised by an old lady) and Stromboli (about a  Lithuanian refugee who marries a Sicilian fisherman).

Sure, there are plenty of great venues across London to sit and enjoy some jazz tunes throughout the year, but this festival aims to spotlight the best but underexposed bands that the city has to offer right now – the likes of Shabaka Hutchings (Guildhall grad Jazz musician and composer), Nubya Garcia (London-based Saxophonist and composer) and Ezra Collective (Time Out’s 2023 Londonders of the Year) all received some early-career support from Jazz Re:freshed, the non-profit behind this event. Along with championing new talent, the event hopes to share access to Jazz with a whole new audience, too!

London’s summer calendar is already packed full of cracking festivals and parties, but kicking it off at a joyous, open-air Pride celebration sounds like one of the more fabulous options. Nazar is the Southbank Centre’s end of Pride Month celebration where you can groove along to cracking DJs of SWANA (Southwest Asia and North Africa) and South Asian communities. The event is open to all and looks set to be a vibrant party, but the aim is to create a safe and celebratory space for members of these communities in particular. For family-friendly content, you should attend before 9pm.

UK-based print magazine and creative agency Azeema was founded back in 2017, and is centred around celebrating women and non-binary people of the global majority. Across one weekend in July, the collective is hosting a series of events at the Southbank Centre’s Riverside Stage. Azeema’s House Party is a coming-together of diasporic sounds on the Friday night, Azeema’s Open House will take place on the Saturday and Azeema’s Home from Home is scheduled for the Sunday, all an effort to find some unity and celebrate through talks, workshops and performances. You can read more about each event on the Southbank Centre’s website.

‘You Belong Here’ is the 2024 theme for the Southbank Centre’s summer season, and around that they’ve collaborated with some inspiring organisations to curate weekends of colourful events to get involved in. Counterpoints Arts’ weekend is kicking off on Friday August 9 with Our HeartBeats, a community club night featuring sets from established as well as refugee DJs. On Saturday, We Move With Joy will comprise an afternoon of activities and movement to (guess what?) spread joy, and on Sunday to round off the weekend, Acting With Love & Solidarity will include singing, poetry, and most importantly, food, organised thanks to Counterpoints Arts’ climate justice and migration network.

Hey Melburnians, have you checked in on the melancholic sapphic in your life? You might need to, because Girl in Red is headed to our city, and this news probably means the aforementioned sapphic is losing their mind right about now. That’s right, after selling out her run of headline dates last year, Girl in Red is heading back Down Under in 2024 courtesy of Secret Sounds. In fact, she’ll be playing some of her biggest Australian shows yet this July.  With her fresh album in tow, the Doing it Again Tour will bless Melbourne’s Margaret Court Arena on Wednesday, July 17. Aside from her Melbourne show, Girl in Red will also play in Perth, Sydney and Brisbane (and we’re also told that Adelaide should “sit tight”).  Since the release of her charming debut single ‘I wanna be your girlfriend’ Norwegian alt-pop artist, songwriter and record producer Marie Ulven (aka Girl in Red) has been gaining legions of fans with her biting songs about navigating the world as a young queer woman. Her honest lyrics and intimate production has thrilled listeners around the world, making the singer-songwriter one of the streaming era’s biggest grass-roots success stories. Ulven’s successes have taken her a long way from the bedroom where she made her earliest records. She's played popular festivals such as Oya and Glastonbury and toured with pop icons like Conan Gray, Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift on the North American leg of her record-breaking Eras Tour. This is your chance to see the artist perf

A borderline psychedelic, kaleidoscopic environment awaits you at this major solo exhibition by one of Australia's foremost contemporary artists, Dale Frank, presented across two floors at The National Art School gallery in Darlinghurst.  Growers and Showers (free to visit until June 1, 2024) is filled with bold colours, glossy abstract paintings, and highly experimental assemblages that play with unexpected surfaces like shattered glass, mirror, foam, human hair, CDs and foil ducting. (If you have an aversion to creepy clowns, proceed with caution.) Coloured lights, incense, and soundtrack personally picked by the artist himself (it’s Foreigner’s 1997 debut album, on rotation) further alter the atmosphere of the space, creating an immersive viewer experience that tests the boundaries of abstraction. Presenting 45 large-scale paintings, sculptures and installations created over the past decade – including nine never-before-exhibited works – this significant survey exhibition delves into Frank’s enduring commitment to experimentation and ongoing investigation into the potentiality of painting, alongside his multidisciplinary approach. Speaking with Katraina Cashman, Senior Curator of NAS Galleries, she explains that the artist's use of pop culture references and unconventional materials serve to challenge and stimulate the viewer's senses, eliciting a physical response that lingers long after the encounter.

Each year, leading international travel magazine Condé Nast Traveller announces its Hot List – a collection of the world’s best new restaurants, hotels and cruise ships, curated by their team of globetrotting editors. And 2024’s iteration has just dropped, featuring world-class restaurants in Cape Town and Rio de Janeiro, New York and Copenhagen – as well as one right here in Sydney. Drum roll, please: Le Foote – winner of Time Out Sydney’s Best Restaurant Award 2023– was named as one of the hottest new restaurants around the world! What’s more, it was the only Aussie venue to make the cut on the coveted list. Sorry, Melbourne. A Swillhouse restaurant (Also Hubert, Shady Pines, Alberto’s Lounge, The Caterpillar Club), Le Foote is a choose-your-own adventure venue featuring a charming Parisian wine bar, a Mediterranean grill, and a gorgeous sandstone courtyard that looks like it’s been plucked from the South of France. It was a project years in the making and the most ambitious restaurant to date from the crew. Condé Nast Traveller said: “Sydney hospitality maestros Swillhouse have savvy locals tackling the tourist-drenched cobblestones of The Rocks for their latest swing-and-hit restaurant, Le Foote. “The alfresco courtyard is just the place for fluffy fish sandwiches and carafes of orange wine (Time Out Sydney has had many fish sandwiches at Le Foote and can attest they are gold-star). Upstairs, settle into the moody candle-lit bar and order two-sip Martinis to a soundtrack

Often described as some of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s best work musically, Tell Me On A Sunday is an essential show for committed musical theatre fanatics to tick off their list – but furthermore, is it a fascinating window into how women have been represented in their own stories. Decades before television brought us Sex And The City and Fleabag, this one-woman, one-act song cycle popularised the story of a young woman experiencing the highs and lows of looking for love in the city – albeit, as written by two men in the 1970s (Lloyd-Webber and Don Black). It is in so many ways a universal story about the human experience – the beauty, the messiness, the pain and the joy. Director Blazey Best brings a fresh production of Tell Me On A Sunday to Sydney’s intimate Hayes Theatre Co (playing until May 12) as part of a bumper 2024 season from the city’s heart of musical theatre and cabaret. Following in the footsteps of legendary leading ladies like Marti Webb and Bernadette Peters, Erin Clare (who was recently seen channelling a young Dolly Parton in 9 to 5) is taking on the coveted and demanding central role of “Girl” eight shows a week. She spoke to Time Out Sydney about the experience. Time Out: Erin, is this a dream role for you, and why?  Erin Clare: “I think for any actor, being given the chance to take on a one-woman musical is an incredibly exciting opportunity. The task is big, it's a complex story, as we see the full gamut of her emotions over some really significant life-alt

In news just in, Josh and Julie Niland’s trailblazing restaurant Saint Peter will reopen this July in a larger space within Paddington’s The Grand National Hotel, close to its original location. While the exact date is yet to be confirmed, we do know that the new restaurant, located in the historic and beloved pub, will include a 40-seat dining room crowned with an impressive skylight ceiling, a chef’s table providing front-row seats to the action, and a private dining room. Plus, the new Saint Peter will house a 30-seat bar where you can enjoy excellent cocktails alongside Niland’s boundary-pushing snacks. A 14-room boutique hotel is scheduled to open later this year. Saint Peter first opened in 2016 on Oxford Street, captivating Australia and the world with Niland’s revolutionary nose-to-tail approach to seafood. Niland says that the new Saint Peter will retain the same magic. “I don't want to lose what makes Saint Peter a special place, not only for guests but also for me and our team,” says Josh Niland. Photograph: Supplied/Saint Peter “We are excited about the challenge of not only moving into a beautiful new home for Saint Peter but also expanding our expression of hospitality to include a wonderful bar and boutique hotel. We are collaborating with incredibly talented individuals to develop a world-class wine and cocktail offering. The luxury accommodations have been beautifully designed; you'll feel like you're in Paris, but with the quintessential Paddington rooftop

La popular y reconocida banda de indie rock madrileña Vetusta Morla ha anunciado su separación a través de las redes sociales. Los seis miembros, con el objetivo de vivir temporalmente separados del grupo, han tomado la decisión de darle al botón de pausa debido a los niveles de esfuerzo que trae consigo la industria musical. "El nivel de exigencia musical y extra musical es, en ocasiones, enfermizo. Necesitamos apartarnos para fortalecernos; es una cuestión de salud".  Los artistas tomaron esta decisión hace aproximadamente un año, durante el tramo final de la gira 'Cable a Tierra'. A lo largo de los últimos meses, el grupo ha lanzado temas como 'La sábana de mis fantasmas' o el 'single' doble 'Puentes y Catedrales', en formato vinilo de siete pulgadas. Próximamente, el ensamble madrileño lanzará un adelanto de '¡Ay, Madrid!   Ayer os queríamos compartir esto pero alguien nos contraprogramó. pic.twitter.com/595nvqLd6O — vetusta morla (@vetustamorla) April 25, 2024 El nuevo disco de Vetusta Morla, 'Figurantes', estará disponible en formato digital el día 31 de mayo, mientras que la edición física saldrá unas semanas más tarde en su página web. La banda no ha preparado ninguna gira para este nuevo lanzamiento ni grandes conciertos, tan siquiera la grabación de videoclips, tal y como anuncian ellos mismos en un comunicado hecho público a través de sus redes sociales. Tras cumplir con las fechas acordadas, que se alargan hasta el mes de septiembre, el grupo dejará de actuar

Los vecinos de Tetuán podrán disfrutar de refrescantes baños gracias a la apertura de su primera piscina de verano, ubicada en el Paseo de la Dirección, 125. El emplazamiento ocupa una superficie total de 1.394 metros cuadrados. Cuenta con una piscina de baño y una de chapoteo, además de vestuarios, guardarropa, baños, taquillas y botiquín.  Antes de la apertura de esta piscina, los vecinos debían recurrir a las piscinas más cercanas, tales como la del Centro Deportivo Municipal Francos Rodríguez (Moncloa-Aravaca) o el Centro Deportivo Municipal Vicente del Bosque (Fuencarral), la última que abrió sus puertas en la capital, allá por el año 2002. Esta nueva instalación, anunciada en junio de 2022 ha contado con un presupuesto de 3,9 millones de euros. Según el Área de Obras y Equipamientos, este nuevo recinto municipal abrirá sus puertas a finales del mes de julio o a principios de agosto. Lo que significa que los más de 160.000 residentes del distrito tendrán que esperar hasta la última fase del verano para bañarse en este nuevo recinto.  Dónde bañarse en Madrid Las temperaturas de la capital pueden alcanzar exorbitantes cifras en pleno verano. Por eso, y a falta de (auténticas) playas en Madrid, el mejor plan al que se puede recurrir es ir a una piscina. Entre las más destacadas de la capital se encuentran la de Ríosequillo, Room Mate Oscar, el parque deportivo Puerta de Hierro o el hotel Emperador. Tristemente, durante esta temporada veraniega no abrirá sus puertas una de

Anyone who’s ever stepped inside the Royal Albert Hall will understand that it can’t be filled with just any old music – it needs scale and drama. And every year it gets exactly that with the BBC Proms, one of London’s best-loved and most dazzling cultural festivals.  The Promenade Concerts (as they’re also known) have taken place in the RAH throughout the summer since way back in 1895. They’ve been organised by the BBC since 1927.  The likes of Pete Tong, Stormzy, Kylie Minogue and even Dame Judi Dench have all made appearances at the Proms in the past, and this year the likes of Florence + the Machine and Sam Smith are set to perform. It’s not all orchestral renditions of classic classical pieces of music (although there will be plenty of that, too).  2024’s season of BBC Proms is kicking off in mid-July.

O Festival Internacional de Teatro de Expressão Ibérica está de regresso aos palcos do norte do país. Entre 15 e 26 de Maio, a 47.ª edição do FITEI apresenta 20 espectáculos nas cidades do Porto, Matosinhos, Viana do Castelo e Vila Nova de Gaia. A Trauma e Bravura, tema que delineou a programação da edição de 2023, junta-se este ano as Fantasmagorias. Com o objectivo de promover o teatro e as artes performativas, o FITEI acolhe obras clássicas e contemporâneas, bem como novos projectos de carácter experimental e transdisciplinar. Durante 11 dias, são seis os países representados – Portugal, Brasil, Espanha, Argentina, Chile e Cabo Verde. Além de espectáculos, o programa contempla oficinas, workshops e conversas. Nos primeiros dois dias, 15 e 16 de Maio, depois de passar pela Companhia Portuguesa de Bailado Contemporâneo, em Lisboa, a Hotel Europa apresenta Luta Armada no Teatro Campo Alegre, no Porto. O projecto de investigação, criado por André Amálio e Tereza Havlíčková, parte do testemunho de pessoas que integravam grupos que recorriam a acções violentas como forma de luta e que viam na luta armada a única forma de acabar com o fascismo e colonialismo português. Quarta-feira, dia 15, a peça pode ser vista às 21.30 e quinta-feira, 16, às 19.00.  A 16 e 17 de Maio, a partir das 21.30, no Rivoli, Janaina Leite assina a concepção, direcção e interpretação de Stabat Mater, a partir do texto homónimo da filósofa e psicanalista Julia Kristeva.
