Wondering what do over the next seven days? Here are ten of the best events.

1. The Johnny Cash Roadshow.

Friday, February 2. From £23, 7.30pm, Theatre Royal, Brighton, 0844 871 7650. The UK’s number one tribute to Johnny Cash is fronted by singer-songwriter Clive John. The Spirit Band re-create the songs of the The Man in Black with astonishing accuracy and aim to truly capture what it must have been like to be at a real Johnny Cash show. The concert also features Amanda Stone as June Carter.

2. Dear Esther Live.

Friday, February 2, £15, £18.50, 8pm, Brighton Dome, 01273 709709. Dear Esther Live immerses audiences in the mind of a lone narrator as he traverses a bleak and desolate Scottish island. No two performances are ever the same, because the computerised environment of the island is explored live by an on-stage operator. BAFTA-winning composer Jessica Curry’s score will be performed live by a piano quintet with soprano.

3. Hundred Watt Club.

A burlesque and cabaret celebration of the 1980s comes to Hove’s Old Market. Producer Lena Mae says: “Slip into skin-tight lycra for blockbusting burlesque striptease, time-travelling tunes, soft-focus circus acts and ridiculous retro comedy, all this with a healthy serving of seductive power ballads. On Friday, February 2, at 8pm we’ll be commanding the stage of The Old Market, 11A Upper Market Street, Hove, BN3 1AS. Tickets are £15 and are available by visiting www.theoldmarket.com or calling the box office on 01273 201801. Admission is strictly over 18s. Not for the faint-hearted; adult themes employed and embraced! Starring award-winning comedienne Tina T’urner Tea Lady, international circus star Daisy Black, London’s busiest burlesque troupe The Folly Mixtures, and power ballad queen Chastity Belt (among others), this show is set to be an unmissable treat.”
