Our Guest Editor this week is the brutally honest Sara Barron.

The London based New Yorker is both a writer and stand-up comic. Her show 'For Worse' opens at Soho Theatre next week (22 Jan - 27 April). Sara's work plays to the gritty sarcasm adored by her 'Brit' audience. She bares a golden authenticity, chiming and grinding awkward truths with precision wit.

In Sara's Run-Riot Interview, she speaks about her approach to romance, the comics that inspire her right now, 'psychotically funny' porn, 'Ma Bitches', and how she wants Joan Rivers’ old job.

In our Magazine section Mira Calix announces the release of her new EP Utopia, along with the video of the lead track 'rightclick' (watch here). C*NTemporary have a call out for creatives to get involved with 'Deep Trash: EcoTrash' - a new project at the ICA this spring. Acclaimed artist Anton Mirto has a voluntary position with her companies next project 'Soul' - more information, here.
