Look out for an upside-down purple cow as you're crossing over the Golden Jubilee footbridge to the Southbank Centre from the end of May. It's hard to miss it. This colourful, comic temporary structure provides the performance space for E4 Udderbelly, a summer of comedy and circus, magic and free family fun with Joan Rivers to kick things off. There's a huge variety of entertainment taking place within the purple cow - also seen at the Edinburgh and Brighton festivals - with something going on almost every night. Highlights include appearances from Clive James, comic performers The Crack and Jonathan Ross regulars 4 Poofs and a Piano. There's a free puppetry workshop hosted by The Terrible Infants theatre company, three nights of circus shows from the Tom Tom Crew, and Beardyman's excellent beatboxing - mixing it up with special guests to inspire his improvisations. With so much to choose from your only problem will be picking just one to go to.
