As Sunak's great election gamble takes on a whole new meaning, it's hard to believe there's another two weeks of this unedifying specatcle still to come.  For a more entertaining spectacle, this weekend you can still catch House of Mcr at Aviva Studios (until 22 Jun).

Next week (w/c 24 Jun) things pick up a bit: Short Supply's Scratch is at Islington Mill on Fri 28 Jun; and Out of CTRL is at the Lowry with Andee Collard's Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction and Heather Alice's Sanspective on Fri 28 Jun and Shawn J Stephen's Constellations of Care and Scarlett Rose Lovette's Pseudo//Seizure Diary on Sat 29 Jun.

Further afield, in Prescot, Emily Parr's No Coward Soul is at Shakespeare North on Wed 26 Jun; in Leeds, Furnace x Arts at the Arms Scratch Night is at Leeds Playhouse on Thu 27 Jun; and Fireflies at Dawn is at Slung Low's Warehouse on Sat 29 Jun. In Blackpool Thick & Tight's Tits & Teeth is at the Grand on Fri 28 Jun.
Much further afield, there's ITCH at Eastside Projects in Birmingham on Thu 27 Jun.

The following week (w/c 1 Jul) sees the start of Greater Manchester Fringe. Things that caught my eye Tides at Salford Arts Theatre on Thu 4 + Fri 5 Jul; Nexxus Dance's The Restaurant at The Fitzgerald (5-7 Jul).
There's also Girl Gang's Itch That Scratch Night at Contact on Wed 3 Jul - or for something discursive there's a Bunker Talk with Big Telly at the Salutation on Tue 2 Jul.

Elsewhere, Chester Storyhouse has Lovestruck (4-6 Jul).

Online, check out Melanie Wilson's Dreaming Species listening experience for headphones.
