Malcolm Pride Retrospective 'A Life of Character' January 14-February 4 at Wimbledon School of Art
With love

There are three reasons to go to the brilliantly monikered 'Lowlife' bar tonight.

Number one: to dispose of unloved Christmas gifts (admit it, there were a few); number two: to get hopelessly merry on a school night; and number three: to do some more for the ongoing Tsunami disaster.

Two Shakespeare plays see the light of day: Macbeth is now on at Almeida (7:30pm. Almeida St, N1. £22-27. 020 7359 4404 or online); King Lear opens at Albery (7pm. St. Martin's Lane, WC2. £5-25. 0870 060 6621 or here).

The sensational jazz vocalist Gwyneth Herbert seduces at Bush Hall tonight. 7:30pm. 310 Uxbridge Rd, W12. £15. 08700 600 100 or online.

Lowlife has teamed up with Fallen vodka to bring you a highly alcoholic Christmas Swap Shop. The idea is, you swap your tasteless 'why-did-you-bother?' Christmas gifs for something er, else.

It's time to banish all guilt and get ruthless (all ye Ruth's out there, take heed); your mum will never know you swapped your 'Chick's Rule' mousepad for an edible chocolate g-string. After all, at least you can eat the g-string.

Fashionista kids get your kit out: Yr Mum & Ya Dad spin at Kashpoint at Moonlighting. 10pm. 17 Greek St, W1. €9.

State of Undress - luxury lingerie

Peculiar and Le Strange play Windmill. 8pm. 22 Blenheim Gardens, SW2. £4 online.

The charity bit is that 50% of all cocktail proceeds go to Tsunami - but that's after you've downed a free vodka shot on entry and are a little more cash-happy.

Bring crap gifts, leave with not-as-crap gifts and drink lots on the way. Don't you just love January?

The Great Christmas Present Swap Shop
Tonight from 7pm
