Arts, Crafts, and Quizzes: Entertainment Roundup

This week in entertainment, we've got a little bit of everything to tickle your fancy. From design innovations celebrating anniversaries to cheeky dating strategies and classic comedy tributes, get ready for a whirlwind tour of arts, culture, and a whole lot of fun.

Design Through the Decades

Design enthusiasts, rejoice! This month's design news is a nostalgic trip down memory lane. The humble photo booth, a staple of amusement parks and town squares, is celebrating its 100th anniversary. Imagine all the silly faces and captured memories! A classic photo booth with a curtain and a person inside taking pictures.

But it's not all vintage charm. A new history of Welsh modernist holiday cabins offers a fresh perspective on architecture, while Le Creuset is finding innovative new applications for its iconic cookware. Plus, a travel gear brand is making waves by repurposing plastic waste from the ocean – style with a conscience! And don't miss the personal art showcased at the upcoming Collect 2025 craft fair.

Glitter: The New Weapon in the Dating Game?

Tired of lipstick on the collar? TikTokers are taking a sparkly new approach to sussing out potential cheaters: glitter! Fitness influencer Dalia Grande sparked a viral trend by liberally applying glitter before a first date, reasoning that "married men HATE glitter."

The logic? Glitter transfers easily and is notoriously difficult to remove, leaving a telltale trail for suspicious spouses. While the effectiveness of this method is debatable, it's certainly a creative – and potentially messy – way to send a message. Just be mindful of those microplastics!

Comedy Legends Reimagined

Step back in time with "The Last Laugh," a tribute play at Theatre Royal Brighton that brings the comedic genius of Eric Morecambe, Tommy Cooper, and Bob Monkhouse back to life. A stage scene depicting actors portraying Eric Morecambe, Tommy Cooper, and Bob Monkhouse in a dressing room. Written and directed by Paul Hendy, the play imagines the three legends sharing a dressing room pre-show, engaging in witty banter and showcasing their signature jokes.

Reviewers praise the uncanny portrayals by Bob Golding, Simon Cartwright, and Damian Williams, who have honed their impersonations to perfection. As one character quips, "You tell ’em a joke they’ve heard before, and: silence." But the play proves that even familiar jokes can still land with a bang when delivered by comedy masters – or their talented mimics.
