Fight Club
Jack Black as Nacho Libre

You probably read that this week was supposed to be 'officially' the most depressing of the year, what with it being January and cold and us all being skint and that.

This half-baked 'story' was - you won't be surprised to know - a PR stunt dreamed up by some rubbish holiday company trying to flog us rubbish holidays.

Utter rubbish: this wonderful week has already given us Londoners a lovely blanket of snow, Arsenal beating the Mancs, and tonight we get the spectacle of 'Mexicaaaaaaaan Wree-e-e-estling'!

Yes, the ever wonderful Bethnal Green Working Men's Club is home to four matches of 'hardcore lucha wrestling madness fused with Cabaret Siniestro!' I'm not exactly sure what that means, but with a dress code that advises Show Girls, Lucha libre, Militaria, Ballroom, Harlot, AvantGarde, Cyberpunk, Animal Guise(?), and various other gaudy get ups, it's sure to brighten up your week - even if the sight of yesterday's snowflakes didn't do the job.

And if all that doesn't put a warm glow in your cold, cold January heart, just remember: Christmas is still 11 months away.

Lucha Britannia - 7pm-2am tonight, Thursday Jan 25 at Bethnal Green Working Men's Club, Pollard Row, E2.
£15, £10 if dressed to impress
First match of the tournament - more to come in months to follow if you miss this one.
