Leytonstone Comedy Night feat. Jeff Innocent | The Birds
May 9, 2025 (UTC+0)ENDED
London
Multi award winning comedian Jeff Innocent has reached legendary status among his peers and audiences alike by staying at the top of his game for over 20 years. His unique appeal lies in the contrast between his East End 'geezer’ appearance and demeanour, and his educated, philosophical delivery and culturally relevant subject matter. Always original, he continues to cement his position within the history of British stand up comedians with his regular performances on the UK and world live comedy circuit and has recently acquired a whole new generation of fans, through his online viral video clips. Jeff Innocent started his comedy career in the mid 90’s at the age of 41 after a colourful and eventful life including a father and brothers best described as ‘entrepreneurs’, working as a window dresser in the trendy 70’s world of London's Kings Rd and Carnaby St fashion shops and appearing regularly as an actor at the radical Half Moon Theatre in London's Aldgate. It was in 1996, after a gap of 25 years, that Jeff resumed his passion for performing by enrolling in a stand-up comedy course a 40th birthday gift tutored by the legendary alternative stand up pioneer Tony Allen. Since then Jeff has performed stand-up comedy not just in the UK but in such far flung and unlikely locations as Viet Nam, Abu Dhabi, China, the Philippines, India, Norway, South Africa and Kuala Lumpur to name just a few. Jeff Innocent delivers a masterclass in stand up comedy every time he performs. Sunday Times It should be made law that every British citizen should go and see Jeff innocent, he’s that funny. Evening Standard Jeff presents a show that’s part history lesson, part sociology lecture, but all funny. Guardian Plus support from Helen Bauer, Nic Sampson and MC Ben Van der Velde

War rugs Afghanistan's knotted history | The British Museum
Oct 4, 2024–Jun 29, 2025 (UTC)ENDED
London
Discover how weavers in Afghanistan have recorded the country's turbulent history in traditional rugs in this new display.
On 24 December 1979 Soviet troops crossed the border into Afghanistan, beginning a protracted 10-year war. As the country was transformed by conflict, Afghan weavers started to include imagery of modern warfare in their carpets and rugs. Birds were replaced by military helicopters. Guns took the place of flowers. Demons fought alongside tanks. This fusion of traditional crafts with the recording of contemporary history created a new artform: Afghan war rugs.
This display presents some of the remarkable rugs from the British Museum collection, alongside a selection of objects that explore Afghanistan's complex past and turbulent present. Located between Asia and the Middle East, Afghanistan has always been a point of connection for different cultures. Yet it was also a strategically important territory that dynasties and empires fought over to control.
