Bar Review: The Wheatsheaf - Tooting
23rd Mar 2012 2:49pm | By Editor Another grubby boozer reclaimed from a life of locals only toil.
The Scene: Formerly a grubbed-out den of a pub, this was a ‘locals only’ boozer, and even then it was fairly empty. A swift makeover has seen its fortunes reversed as out went the spit n’ sawdust and in came mood-inducing lighting, double, four- and six-person tables packed in to give some real atmosphere, and a back area reinvigorated into a dining room celebrating the building’s Victorian origins. With an element of style, assorted furniture maintains an improv vibe, and they’ve also kicked things into gear in terms of the entertainment, which boasts regular weekend DJs and comedy shows (Ardal O’Hanlon and Andy Parsons recently, with Micky Flanagan on April 25 doing a 90min set).

New agents for Triggernometry podcast duo Konstantin Kisin and Francis Foster
Comedy agency Blue Book Artist Management has signed up ‘anti-woke’ comedians Konstantin Kisin and Francis Foster.
The stand-ups host the podcast and YouTube channel Triggernometry, which takes aim at what they see as a ‘cancel culture’.
Launched in February 2018, they now average more than 3 million monthly views on YouTube. A recent episode with professor and culture warrior Jordan Peterson attracted more than 280,000 views alone.
Kisin hit the headlines in 2018 when he went public with his decision not to sign a ‘safe-space’ agreement to treat topics such as racism and homophobia in a respectful way before performing at SOAS Students Union in London.
