On the cards: Jerry Sadowitz will spread some festive bad cheer

Richard Godwin guides you through some of the best weekend events including a New Year's Eve party at a secret Camden location and Jerry Sadowitz's magic show with a difference.
BUTTONED DOWN DISCO F*** NEW YEAR'S EVE PARTY
A secret Camden location
Saturday, 9pm-4am
As is becoming an amusing annual tradition, DJ Dollyrocker and his happy crew at Buttoned Down Disco say "Boo to New Year's Eve" (in so many words) and throw a big old rave-up the night before. Expect quirky covers, indie trash, harsh remixes - and a stonking hangover for the next day.

THE MAGIC FLUTE FROM THE MET
Various Picturehouse cinemas
Saturday, 6.30pm
New York's Metropolitan Opera's production of Mozart's light-hearted singspiel is beamed live across the Atlantic, to be relayed in high-definition, big-screen glory at the Gate in Notting Hill and the Picturehouse cinemas in Greenwich and Clapham. A somewhat cheaper night out than the stalls at Covent Garden. www.picturehouses.co.uk
FABRICLIVE PRESENTS PLAYAZ XMAS SPECIAL
Fabric, Charterhouse Street, EC1
Friday 9.30pm-5am
What could be more seasonal than three floors of harsh drum'n'bass? The Real Playaz crew take over venerable superclub Fabric, with the great DJ Hype headlining the main room. Support comes from a who's who of d'n'b: Andy C, Pascal, Dillinja, Bad Company, Total Science and more.

JERRY SADOWITZ
Soho Theatre, Wardour Street, W1
Tonight to Saturday, 9.30pm. Until 6 January
Dark-hearted, foul-mouthed magician Sadowitz takes over the Soho to spread a bit of festive bad cheer and to wow audiences with his genuinely deft close-up tricks. Warning: he has been known to strip, to cause gratuious offence and to wee on the audience. Also does children's parties.
